Open-source 3D-printed portable MRI machine built for under $70,000 — DIY medical equipment costs less than 7% of a full-sized MRI machine’s $1.1 million starting price - Tom's Hardware

Engineers have created a working MRI machine using 3D printing and open-source designs for under $70,000, versus the usual $1.1 million cost. This could make advanced medical imaging accessible in remote or low-income areas, potentially saving lives and reducing healthcare costs.
