Three topics concerning future hardware development for clinical MRI are discussed, with the general theme of operational simplification: Hardware changes intended to simplify workflow and increase throughput in clinical MRI, including integrated in-bore sensors for patient monitoring and motion correction as well as highly flexible coil arrays which can be shaped into any particular geometry. Developments in cryogen-free magnet technology to simplify MRI siting and maintenance. Given that over 70% of the world’s population has absolutely no access to MRI at all, how can hardware designers try to fill this gap by designing simple systems that are low-csost, robust, simple to operate and repair, and capable of working in developing countries?
