The Latin American Hub for Bioimaging Through Open Hardware (LIBRE_hub) is a training network for open source bioimaging hardware in Latin America with the goal to empower regional researchers through practical workshops, seminars, networking, and online resources adapted to local needs and re-published in local languages.

The upcoming live workshop titled “Advances in the Low-Cost MRI Project for Accessible Imaging” will take place on December 16th, 2024. The host is Pablo Irarrázaval, Profesor, Instituto de Ingeniería Biológica y Médica – Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Overview: In this workshop, we will describe and discuss the current state of development of our low-cost MRI system. This system leverages existing open-source designs engineered to make medical imaging more accessible, especially in low-resource settings. Our team will showcase the design and manufacturing of various components: main field, gradient coils and amplifiers, RF coil and amplifier, shimming, and the console.
