STIMULATE Colloquium

Christof Pfannenmüller (Chair of Integrated Electronic Systems– Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg): Universal Integrated Console for Ultra-High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging: How custom silicon can improve MRI cost and scalability

The UIC4UHFMRI project (Universal Integrated Console for Ultra-High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging) aims to develop a universal, integrated console for high-field MRI systems. As part of the project, a comprehensive toolchain will be established to enable the integration of MRI electronics with modern semiconductor technologies. The use of higher frequencies facilitates the consolidation of complex functionalities into a single chip, significantly simplifying system architecture. This approach represents a key enabler for the scaling and broader adoption of MRI technology—comparable to the recent advancements in communication technology.
