Chipiron — Ultra-Low Field MRI for Space
TechTheMoon
Chipiron is building the first lightweight, low-cost MRI machine that operates at ultra-low magnetic fields without compromising image quality. Incubated by TechTheMoon, Chipiron’s mission is to make MRI 100x more accessible, enabling wider, earlier, and more widespread screenings. The technology presents major advantages for space missions: in environments where astronauts are already exposed to high […]
About
Chipiron is building the first lightweight, low-cost MRI machine that operates at ultra-low magnetic fields without compromising image quality. Incubated by TechTheMoon, Chipiron’s mission is to make MRI 100x more accessible, enabling wider, earlier, and more widespread screenings. The technology presents major advantages for space missions: in environments where astronauts are already exposed to high radiation levels, MRI stands out for its total absence of X-rays. The system is designed for Earth-Moon and Earth-Mars missions where weight and power constraints demand compact medical imaging solutions.
