Chipiron
Chipiron is a Paris-based medical-imaging startup building a compact, low-cost MRI scanner that runs at an ultra-low magnetic field (below ~30 millitesla, roughly 1,000x weaker than a hospital MRI). Its patented low-Tc SQUID quantum detection system plus AI noise cancellation and reconstruction are designed to recover clinical-grade image quality without a shielded room, without helium, and at a fraction of the cost, size, and infrastructure of conventional machines. The company's stated aim is to make MRI accessible everywhere, starting with breast imaging, and eventually reach patients, clinics, and remote settings that today's scanners can't serve.
