Traditional posters on low-field MRI covering system development to deployment

		370-08-059. Building and evaluating two different Halbach array based MRI magnet designs for ultra low field MRI systems Jithin Sreekumar, Utkarsh Srivastava, Vamshi Krishna Bapaladoddi, Aditya Kalluri, Hariraj M S, Ishwarya A, Shashank Hegde, Jaladhar Neelavalli Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, India Impact: Designing and building an ultra-low field MRI magnet in India for low resource settings.
		370-08-060. Fast and Efficient computational and optimization Framework for Low-Field MRI Magnet and Shim Design Natnael Anjulo, Reid Bolding, Jessie EP Sun, Mark Griswold Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, United States of America Impact: The framework will provide a fast, scalable, and geometry-flexible tool for designing compact low-field MRI magnets. It can be adapted to diverse geometries, advancing portable MRI development, setting up for novel designs to ultimately expand imaging accessibility in resource-limited settings.
		370-08-061. Design of highly uniform magnetic field coil for low-field magnetic resonance imaging Yonghyun Ha, Chenhao Sun, SAJAD HOSSEINNEZHADIAN, Sebastian Theilenberg, Guang Yang, Tao Li, Ryan Gross, Anja Samardzija, Flor Parra Rodriguez, Heng Sun, Horace Zhang, Gigi Galiana, R. Todd Constable Yale University, New Haven, United States of America Impact: The proposed toroid RF coil achieves superior B1 field uniformity within compact geometries, enabling more efficient and space saving. This design offers significant advantages for applications with limited coil space, such as dedicated breast or portable MRI scanners.
		370-08-062. Design and Implementation of a Low-Field MRI Readiness Assessment Framework for Resource-Limited Hospitals Velencia Witherspoon, Helen Craft, Lina Moses Tulane University, New Orleans, United States of America Impact: This study introduces a field-validated engineering framework to assess infrastructure readiness for low-field MRI in resource-limited hospitals, translating environmental and logistical constraints into design criteria that guide sustainable, context-specific hardware adaptation and equitable global MRI deployment.
		370-08-063. Halbach Magnet Design and Optimization for a low-field Pre-clinical MR Scanner Timon Machtelinckx, Nayebare Maureen, Marina Fernández-García, Ihssene Brahimi, Guillermo Sahonero-Alvarez, Sipan Hovsepian, Mayinja Bob, David Rodriguez-Duarte, Ali Akbarzadeh-Sharbaf, Pedram Yazdanbakhsh, Jennifer Mifatu, Kidist Kebede, Maruf Adewole, Raymond Confidence, Johnes Obungoloch, Haile Kassahun, Udunna Anazodo, Stefan du Plessis Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa Impact: This work provides an open-source, automated framework for magnet optimization, reducing the cost and complexity of designing portable low-field MRI systems. The code and design files are available on GitHub, facilitating global reproducibility and community-driven magnet development.
		370-08-064. A Low-Pass Birdcage Coil for Portable Low-Field MRI with a high coil-to-shield diameter ratio for maximum space utilization Paul Cassidy, zilu tang, Qi Zheng, Jin Han Heng, shaoying huang Agency for Science, Technology and Research (ASTAR), Singapore Impact:* This work explores how RF shield design for a low-pass birdcage coil influences performance when maximum utilization of the available magnet bore diameter is required to reduce the overall weight of the magnet for portable low-field MRI.
