Matthew Rosen: Building an MRI Scanner 60 Times Cheaper & Small Enough to Fit in an Ambulance

This keynote was a part of LDV Capital’s 4th Annual LDV Vision Summit (May 23-24, 2017).

As a Harvard Professor, alongside his colleagues at the MGH/A.A Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Boston, Matthew Rosen worked on applications of advanced biomedical imaging technologies. One of several projects was hacking a new kind of scanner that’s fast, small, and cheap. Using algorithms, they can use a weak magnetic field to get good images of our brains and other organs. Someday, people may not have to go to a hospital for an MRI. The scanners may show up in sports arenas, battlefields, and even the backs of ambulances. Dr. Rosen shared his vision of how biomedical imaging has evolved past, present and his views on where disruptive opportunities will be in 5, 10 and 20 years.
