Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and Siemens developed a low magnetic-field MRI system to improve imaging of the lungs.

The high-performance, low magnetic-field MRI system is designed to improve the image quality of the lungs and other internal structures. It is also designed for patients who have pacemakers and defibrillators and is compatible with interventional devices that could help diagnose and treat disease.

Modern MRI systems have higher magnetic field strengths to produce clearer images of the brain.
