The Chinese University of Hong Kong announced on the 14th that the Faculty of Medicine and Prince of Wales Hospital, together with the Chinese Stroke Association and the Beijing Temple of Heaven Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, have introduced 0.23T low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, becoming the first pilot of the "one-stop emergency stroke diagnosis and treatment" (ESU) model in Hong Kong. The team has successfully performed low field MRI scans for over 20 patients at Prince of Wales Hospital, with satisfactory results. Meng Xia, Director of the Office of the National Clinical Research Center for Neurological Diseases, stated that based on the experience of stroke centers in mainland China participating in research, the introduction of a one-stop model can shorten the average time from arrival at the emergency room to receiving thrombolytic therapy to less than 20 minutes, far below the international guideline of 60 minutes, bringing great benefits to patients. Meng Xia hopes to strengthen exchanges with Hong Kong in areas such as talent training, clinical research, and cross-border scientific research cooperation, and jointly promote scientific research development. Zhao Weiren, Dean of the School of Medicine at CUHK, stated that this research project not only helps optimize the treatment of acute stroke, but also strengthens cooperation between medical institutions in Hong Kong and mainland China, promotes exchanges in research, education, innovation, and technology transfer, and makes significant contributions to patient well-being. Zhong Jianli, Director of the New Territories East Hospital Network and Executive Director of Weiyuan Hospital, is encouraged by this cooperation. He believes that this cooperation marks an important step forward for Weiyuan Hospital in promoting medical innovation and improving patient prognosis. By integrating this innovative technology into the diagnosis and treatment process of acute stroke, it is expected to change the triage and treatment strategies for acute stroke patients.
