Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance instruments are becoming available to the do-it-yourself community. The challenges encountered in the endeavor to build a magnetic resonance imaging instrument from scratch were confronted in a four-day hackathon at Singapore University of Technology and Design in spring 2024. One day was devoted to educational lectures and three days to system construction and testing. Seventy young researchers from all parts of the world formed six teams focusing on magnet, gradient coil, RF coil, console, system integration, and design, which together produced a working MRI instrument in three days. The different steps, encountered challenges, and their solutions are reported.
