Abstract:
The aim of this work was to explore the limits and opportunities for ultra-low field
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the earth’s magnetic field at 50T (EF-MRI) in Dublin, Ireland. MRI
normally requires high static magnetic fields (>0.5T) to polarise the hydrogen-1 nuclei in tissue and to
maximise the available signal. Callaghan et al. developed EF-MRI for use in antarctica [1] before
advancing the technology to commercialisation as an educational systems globally [2]. Nowadays
those systems can be developed at low material cost of less
than 200EUR [3, 4]. However, their use has not evolved much
beyond scientific and educational exploration. Some
universities reported student laboratories for undergraduates
using the system in physics [5] and in chemistry [6]. Yet, other
examples demonstrated the remaining signal challenges to
work with this approach in practice [
