The unexpected discovery of China's "hole card" by US companies was an unexpected blow to the US media
According to figures released by the Ministry of Finance, the country's medical and health expenditure in 2022 was 2,254.2 billion, an increase of 17The emergence of this figure shows that the people are facing the actual situation of "difficult and expensive medical treatment".
Especially in terms of MRI, an MRI costs hundreds of dollars, which makes many people afraid of MRI, and they dare not talk about their health status or spend the money.
Why is MRI so expensive?The reason is that the United States has a monopoly in the field of magnetic resonance, most of the domestic MRI equipment in the past has to rely on foreign equipment, without any right to negotiate, and the United States provides us with some related equipment, the price is also 30 million US dollars, these expensive equipment, as well as the cost of maintenance, in the end have to fall on the heads of ordinary people.
But fortunately, our country once again came up with the "hole card" related to magnetic resonance. Today, the domestic 3.0T high-end MRI equipment, in terms of performance, is no different from foreign products, but the price is only 2.93 million yuan, 90% cheaper than similar domestic products2%！
As we all know, in medicine, the cost of many cutting-edge equipment is extremely high, and more than 80% of it is in the hands of the United States and other European and American countries. Take magnetic resonance equipment as an example, the price in Europe and the United States is 30 million, and we have to admit that we have smashed all the back molars!
The United States and Germany have maintained a market share in MRI equipment for more than 40 years, and by selling equipment, there are large amounts of money. In addition, the population of China is large, and the demand for magnetic resonance equipment is also very large, so pharmaceutical companies in the United States and Germany are eyeing China's "fat", and of course they will not let the Chinese people afford it. Therefore, European and American countries simply only use equipment, and do not allow China to maintain its core technology - superconducting magnets, and they have to rely on their own people to do it, doing everything possible to obstruct China's research.
In addition, MRI is a very critical medical instrument, which plays a vital role in the prevention and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which we cannot dispense without, unless we develop it ourselves, it will have to pay a high price. Some data show that the domestic investment in magnetic resonance equipment is the largest in the world except for oil and semiconductors.
What's even worse is that American companies not only raise prices, but an engineer at the MRI Research Center of Peking University also said that the employees who work in maintenance work have a very bad attitude and put on a high-minded appearance. Moreover, if there is a problem with the equipment imported from abroad, the United States will ask us to repair it for various reasons, and the maintenance cost is very high, so it is very necessary to develop domestic magnetic resonance equipment.
In the end, after decades of hard work, China has made a breakthrough in magnetic resonance technology, which has become a new "hole card" for our country, and even the United States has said that this is a very terrible one.
According to reports, the domestically developed 3.There has been a breakthrough in the 0T high-resolution MRI instrument, and its technical indicators are comparable to similar foreign instruments, and the cost is only 2.93 million yuan.
At the same time, according to relevant information, this equipment has been sold by hundreds of tertiary hospitals across the country, and it will occupy 22 in 2022With a market share of 31%, it can be said that in this area, our country does not need to rely on the strength of others at all.
In fact, our country has suffered too much in technology, especially Huawei, which is still fresh in many people's memories.
Huawei is at the pinnacle of 5G and is leading the way in the field of 5G, and its self-developed "Kirin" processor has completely crushed all American companies, including Qualcomm. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the United States, they have changed the rules of chips, restricted the export of lithography machines, cut off the ** of high-end chips, this series of actions of the United States, has forced Huawei into a desperate situation!
The biggest difference between science and medicine is that human life is never a thing that can be bought and sold, no matter how advanced medical technology is, it must be used on ordinary people. In the past, we lived in front of expensive medical equipment, and we had to step through it at all costsNow, the medical technology of "cabbage price" has penetrated into everyone's daily life. This is also what the state has been emphasizing 3The important reason for 0tmri!
Therefore, no matter in any era, science and technology are human-centered, and only for the benefit of mankind can science no longer be mechanical, but can be warm. He can be sure, 3As soon as the 0T MRI equipment came out, it was enough to dumb down those American companies that were once the dominant companies in this industry, and at the same time, it also allowed us to continue to uphold the spirit of "science for the people" and continue to make new breakthroughs in technology!
