Achievement of a female doctor
![சவுதி அரேபியாவை சேர்ந்த டாக்டர்.ஹயாத் சிந்தி மிகக் குறைந்த செலவில் உடல் உறுப்புகள், எலும்பு மற்றும் திசு சம்பந்தப்பட்ட நோய்களை கண்டறிய மிக சிறிய அளவிலான MRI ஸ்கேனரை வடிவமைத்து இருக்கிறார்.
A female medical researcher from Saudi Arabia is planning to develop a portable MRI scanner in a bid to ease the process of diagnosing organ, bone and tissue diseases for people in the Arab world.
Dr Hayat Sindi, who was recently ranked number nine on the CEO Middle East list of most powerful Arab women, wants to make MRI scanning simple and cheap, particularly for older patients and those who have joint disorders.
“I am writing the pattern at the moment,” she told Arabian Business in an interview. “There are so many people with arthritis and older people who struggle to get up on to the bed [to be scanned], and they are in a lot of pain. Especially if they don’t speak English. It can be very uncomfortable.”
Most MRI scans take around 15-20 minutes to complete, and can be expensive. Sindi said her product aims to make the process more efficient, and should be available within three years.
“It also takes a long time. This one is very quick. And it will be very cheap. Usually it takes an average of four-five years [to develop], or six if it’s complicated. But something like this it should take around three years.”
Hayat Sindi, whose research into diagnostics and biotechnology is internationally recognised, is an advocate of affordable medicine.](https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s480x480/432268_251141978310672_719494145_n.jpg)
