Young researcher has created a sensor that detects errors in MRI scans

Hvidovre Hospital has the world's first prototype of a sensor capable of detecting errors in MRI scans using laser light and gas. The new sensor, developed by a young researcher at the University of Copenhagen and Hvidovre Hospital, can thereby do what is impossible for current electrical sensors – and hopefully pave the way for MRI scans that are better, cheaper and faster.

The Center for Biomedical Quantum Sensing is focused on biomedical applications, establishing a new paradigm of quantum-enabled medicine. The research is carried out by the groups below.

Quantop - University of Copenhagen

QPIT - Technical University of Denmark

Raizen Lab - University of Texas, Austin
