The human lung gas magnetic resonance imaging system developed by the ultrasensitive magnetic resonance research group was selected as one of the top ten medical-industry cross-innovation achievements of Hubei Province for 2023

    On December 19th, at the Hubei Province Medical and Engineering Cross-Innovation Conference and the First Medical Device Technology Achievement Exhibition and Trade Fair, the list of Hubei Province's Top Ten Medical and Engineering Cross-Innovation Achievements for 2023 was announced. The ultrasensitive magnetic resonance research group from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology, was successfully selected for their development of the human lung gas magnetic resonance imaging system among the top ten medical and engineering cross-innovation achievements of Hubei Province for 2023.

    The human lung gas magnetic resonance imaging system was completed by the team led by professor Xin Zhou at the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology. This achievement is the world's first clinical multi-nuclei magnetic resonance imaging product capable of gas imaging. It has been approved as a national Class III innovative medical device. The team made comprehensive breakthroughs in hyperpolarization technology, ultra-fast lung gas imaging technology, and human multi-nuclei magnetic resonance imaging technology, successfully illuminating the blind spots in the lungs. It has become a powerful tool for the early diagnosis of major lung diseases.

    "The release of the top ten medical and engineering cross-innovation achievements is an encouragement for our team and for the achievements developed over many years by the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology." said professor Xin Zhou. The emphasis on "Hubei research, Hubei production, Hubei sales, and Hubei usage" at the conference greatly inspires the scientific and technological workers of Hubei. It enables more scientific and technological innovations to be grounded in Hubei, to radiate throughout the country, and to reach the global stage. Medical and engineering cross-innovation requires the coordinated advancement of multiple parties. Many Nobel Prize-winning achievements have emerged from interdisciplinary collaboration. Medical and engineering cross-innovation has great advantages in Hubei and is an excellent point of leverage for Hubei to transform from a province of science and education to a strong province of science and education.

    The team is currently making relentless efforts to promote the accelerated integration of medical and engineering technologies, striving to contribute more to the transformation of medical development and the care of human health.
