Back to the future: Accessible MRI at low field
Portable ultralow-field systems make it more cost-effective and viable to introduce MRI in smaller hospitals and clinics and opens the door to widening global access to brain imaging, writes Swedish MRI physicist Emil Ljungberg, PhD. He shares his experiences and considers what the future might hold.

WHO: Europe's healthcare systems face "permacrisis"
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Overlapping shortages, an aging population, and a workforce "voting with its feet" -- "permacrisis," that's how WHO Europe described the state of healthcare on the continent at the inaugural UEMS Congress in Leuven.
June 18, 2026
'We are no longer preparing for crises. We are actively navigating an era of permanent, overlapping disruptions, the convergence of rapid climate change, demographic shifts, systemic economic uncertainty, and a critical healthcare workforce means that traditional boundaries of healthcare are obsolete,' says Pavlos Theodorakis, senior health policy advisor at the WHO European Office.
