Feb 3rd, 2026, is a date that will not be easily forgotten at PhysioMRI Tech. Companies only get to have one first client, and ours is none other than Microsoft!

Last week, Michael Hansen and a dozen of his fellows at Microsoft Research were trained to operate their brand new PhysioMRI scanner, the first truly portable MRI system on the market. With this scanner, scientists and clinicians have the freedom to operate virtually anywhere on the globe, create arbitrary pulse sequences, and exploit unlimited access to the generated data and reconstructions.

Having long followed MSR’s extraordinary development and innovation track, we can’t help but wonder what new results are on the line with the MRI system!

Oh, and if you think your research could also benefit from a portable MRI scanner, make sure to reach out!
