US-based Multi Dimensional Technology Co Ltd (MDT) introduced the world's highest field strength permanent magnet magnetic resonance imaging system named xStar 7000.

This technology is a historic breakthrough in permanent magnet magnetic resonance technology. It not only means that the permanent magnet system technology competes with any superconducting MRI system available today with image quality and specification comparable to super conducting MRI. This technological breakthrough also means that ENN-MDT, a joint company between US based MDT and their Chinese partner ENN, with their factory in Beijing where xStar 7000 is manufactured will likely to become the world's largest permanent magnet suppliers.

World's first 0.7T MRI developed by MDT, model xStar 7000

In Zhengzhou, at the opening of the China International Medical Equipment Fair autumn, ENN-MDT announced the joint venture factory and design facilities with the help of a team of scientists from MIT and Harward , USA with funding from Chinese Coal gas giant ENN (Energy and Innovation company).

After a decade of hard work and constant exploration, MDT successfully developed a 0.7T permanent magnet system xStar 7000. This is currently the highest in the world employing permanent magnet technology, not only broke the permanent magnet field strength theoretical limit, taking the application of permanent magnet magnetic resonance a new milestone. 0.7 Tesla permanent magnet system not only means low cost MRI imaging but no compromise on the quality of a high field MR system.

xStar 7000 from MDT is a new attempt for the first time in the world to develop new technology based on the permanent-magnet system design to maximise the field strength to achieve the quality so far possible only with superconducting systems. At the same time, the new system has one of the best spatial and contrast resolution achieved among open MR systems, surpassing even high field open.
