1. Since 1983, various PCB technologies and equipment totaling 77.5 billion have been introduced from abroad. Currently, a substantial amount of imported equipment is entering a peak maintenance period. Experts believe that to address this widespread issue effectively, localization efforts must be prioritized. Relying on foreign imports not only entails high costs but also perpetuates a passive development stance.
2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) stands as one of the most effective clinical imaging technologies in contemporary medical diagnostics. It serves crucial roles in examining various human body parts, particularly in early tumor detection and soft tissue lesion diagnosis. MRI technology can be categorized into two types: superconducting MRI and permanent magnet MRI, distinguished by their respective methods of forming the primary imaging magnetic field.
1. Although superconducting MRI systems offer high magnetic field strength and a conducive imaging environment, their manufacturing and operational costs are excessively high, rendering them unaffordable for most domestic hospitals. Consequently, only a few large hospitals resort to importing them, despite the financial strain and ongoing maintenance challenges. Therefore, the current focus is on leveraging PCB reverse engineering to localize and maintain these imported systems effectively.
2. PCB reverse engineering: innovation through replication
Many misunderstand PCB reverse engineering as mere imitation or even “counterfeit” production. However, its true intent lies in acquiring and assimilating cutting-edge electronic circuit designs from abroad to develop superior products domestically. By employing reverse engineering techniques, comprehensive technical data such as PCB schematics, BOM lists, and PCB files can be extracted, facilitating rapid prototyping and competitive benchmarking for future product development.
3. PCB reverse engineering: enabling effective localization and maintenance
Presently, the localization and maintenance of imported MRI equipment and spare parts pose significant challenges for major hospitals. Simply pursuing independent research and development isn’t always feasible; instead, a methodical approach tailored to local conditions is essential. PCB modification represents one such scientifically grounded localization strategy under our national circumstances. It not only expedites localization efforts and reduces costs but also ensures control over technological know-how and critical components, thereby enhancing the sustainability of imported equipment maintenance.
