Numerus apertus en médecine : ouvrir des places ne supprime pas le classement

❓ Le numerus apertus supprime-t-il la sélection en médecine ?
❓ Pourquoi ouvrir plus de places ne règle-t-il pas la sélection en deuxième année ?

Numerus apertus en médecine : ouvrir des places ne supprime pas le classement
Le numerus apertus fixe des places par faculté, pas la règle qui décide des admissions : le classement reste central, et la sélection se rejoue dans la capacité d'encadrement en deuxième année. La licence portail santé de 2027 ne supprime pas ce mécanisme.

Clinical Experience with the 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Star #MRI Scanner by Lic. Carlos Raúl Sanchez; et al. (Imágenes MDQ, Mar del Plata, Argentina).

For years, “more Tesla” was considered synonymous with better diagnosis in MRI. However, recent developments show that optimizing the entire imaging ecosystem, not just the field strength, is redefining clinical practice. Drawing on more than three decades of experience with 0.5T, 1T, and with modern 1.5T and 3T systems, the authors share their clinical experience with the 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Star MRI scanner. They discuss how advances in hardware, AI-based image reconstruction, and system design are enabling lower-field MRI to regain a strategic role, combining competitive diagnostic image quality with reduced susceptibility artifacts, lower operating costs, and greater accessibility. The MAGNETOM Free.Star can help expand access to MRI and improve equity. The combination of lower installation costs, reduced energy consumption, and AI-driven capabilities make it possible to provide MRI services in settings where they were previously limited, potentially helping to reduce patient waiting times. Importantly, 0.55T systems complement rather than replace 1.5T or 3T systems. Integrating them into the diagnostic network can help optimize costs and turnaround times.
