At Chipiron,
we are on a mission to end cancer
through scalable MRI technologies.

Most deadly diseases can be efficiently cured through early diagnosis and image-guided non-invasive therapies using today’s MRI technology.

To implement widespread screening and advanced therapies, MRI accessibility needs to increase by 100-fold.

With its outrageous costs, prohibitively complex infrastructure, and extensive MR compatibility issues, current MRI technology will never be able to meet the demand.

Introducing Chipiron

Leveraging the emerging properties of ultra-low magnetic fields (<10 mT), we are building the first light, inexpensive, open full-body MRI machine without compromising image quality.

01

QUANTUM SQUID DETECTION SYSTEM

Our patented low-Tc SQUID volume gradiometer is the world’s first SQUID antenna capable of acquiring an MRI signal in an open environment, improving the SNR up to 10x compared to previous attempts.

02

STATE OF THE ART AI NOISE CANCELLATION SYSTEM

We implement cutting-edge linear and non-linear active noise cancellation strategies to make the most out of the lower signals.

03

ULTRA-LIGHT COOLING SYSTEM

We designed and built the first MRI-compatible SQUID cryostat, which allows the detector to stay at 4 K while gathering the NMR signal as efficiently as a room-temperature coil.

04

UNCONVENTIONNAL LOW-FIELD AI RECONSTRUCTION

Ultra-low field EPI, partial Fourier, and Gaussian undersampling with unconventional reconstruction are the last bricks to reduce the number of repetitions to pack ULF sequences in clinically relevant acquisition times.
