Break the Western monopoly! China seized the MRI market, cutting prices by more than 90%, causing heavy losses to Europe and the United States

author:Xiao Liu's original story

The MRI machine, the "big white" equipment in the hospital, can be described as the "top stream" of examination and diagnosis! The price of tens of millions of dollars at every turn makes many hospitals say "they can't afford to hurt". However, recently, a piece of news has caused a lot of shock in the medical circle: the domestic nuclear magnetic resonance instrument was born, and the price fell directly from 30 million to 2.6 million, a drop of more than 90%! This price is comparable to the "Double 11" promotion, which makes domestic hospitals smile at the same time, but also makes foreign manufacturers confused.

You know, nuclear magnetic resonance technology is the specialty of European and American countries, and they have monopolized this field for decades. Unexpectedly, the domestic equipment was killed halfway, not only the performance is not inferior to the imported goods, but the price is ridiculously low, which is simply the "Cheng Biting Gold" in the medical equipment industry!

In the face of such cheap domestic products, some people can't help but ask: Is this cutting corners? Not really. The domestic nuclear magnetic resonance instrument has reached the international advanced level in various indicators, with high resolution and fast imaging speed, which has been unanimously recognized by customers at home and abroad, and has been exported to more than 70 countries and regions.

The reason why it can be sold so cheaply is entirely because of the crystallization of the wisdom of domestic scientific researchers. They have not only conquered the core technology, but also optimized the production process, coupled with the perfect domestic supply chain, the cost has naturally dropped significantly. In fact, the road to the research and development of domestic nuclear magnetic resonance instruments is not easy.

In the 80s of the last century, due to the technological blockade, China could not even build a completely self-developed nuclear magnetic resonance instrument, so it could only rely on imports. It was not until recent years that domestic researchers devoted themselves to research and finally realized the localization of nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, breaking the foreign technology monopoly.

In addition to catching up with the international advanced level, China's research in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance is constantly making breakthroughs and innovations. Not long ago, China's first 7T scientific research magnetic resonance was launched in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, marking another key step in the field of high-end medical equipment in China.

Careful people will find that the counterattack of the domestic nuclear magnetic resonance instrument is quite similar to another "national heavy weapon" shield machine. Both have faced the dilemma of foreign technology monopoly, but they have achieved localization with independent innovation and emerged in the international market, which can be called the pride of Made in China.

"If science and technology prosper, the nation will prosper, and if science and technology are strong, the country will be strong." It is the persistent exploration of generations of scientific and technological workers that has allowed China to get rid of the technological dilemma of "stuck neck" and stand tall on the world stage with independent innovation.

The advent of domestic nuclear magnetic resonance equipment not only allows more people to use cheap and high-quality medical equipment, but also shows the vitality of China's scientific and technological innovation. In the future, with the continuous enhancement of domestic scientific research strength, there will be more "Made in China" shining in the world!
