Rwanda’s medical sector is undergoing a rapid technological evolution under the Ministry of Health's clinical modernization strategy. A core driver of this progress is the urgent demand for specialized musculoskeletal (MSK) and neurological diagnostic equipment. From the busy referral wards of King Faisal Hospital and the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK) to provincial medical networks, the modernization of diagnostic capabilities is vital. Access to precise, cost-effective orthopedic MRI and specialized extremity scanners is critical for managing sports trauma, degenerative spine conditions, and joint diseases.
Historically, patients requiring advanced soft-tissue diagnostic scans faced extensive wait times or high travel expenses to reach centralized imaging clinics. The modern strategy focuses on the deployment of specialty orthopedic scanners, dedicated extremity systems, and low-field or Helium-free open MRI systems. These innovations help decentralized health structures across Rwanda access high-quality diagnostics without the prohibitive infrastructure costs associated with conventional whole-body systems.
Healthcare procurement managers and clinical directors in Kigali look for reliable equipment that balances capital expenditure with operating efficiency. By detailing performance parameters under challenging local power grids, we ensure this clinical overview provides actionable insights for hospital purchasing decision-makers.
Bridging the gap between cutting-edge global MRI innovations and localized deployment requirements in East Africa.
Traditional superconducting MRI systems consume significant power and require continuous cooling. Modern, specialized low-field systems and helium-free open scanners operate efficiently with standard power grids, backed by dedicated industrial UPS setups to manage local power fluctuations.
Liquid Helium logistics present challenges in East Africa. Our dry superconducting technology and permanent-magnet open systems reduce or eliminate the need for liquid helium refilling. This design ensures consistent uptime and lower lifetime operating expenses.
Specialty orthopedic MRIs focus on extremity imaging (knees, ankles, feet, wrists, elbows). Limiting the scan field reduces artifacts, increases regional signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), and allows for faster diagnostic throughput compared to traditional whole-body systems.

Products and Applications
The company is dedicated to providing mobile CT and mobile MRI solutions for various application scenarios, breaking through the core technologies of traditional devices and continuously upgrading them. Our equipment is widely applicable in hospital bedside setups, ambulances, mobile medical vehicles, and battlefield medical care, meeting diagnostic needs in complex environments. Our mobile CT products are characterized by low radiation, easy mobility, simple operation, and high-definition image quality. They are extensively used in orthopedics, joint care, chest care, stroke, and other clinical specialties, improving diagnostic efficiency and the patient treatment experience.
Research and Technological Advancements
Aert Medical has independently developed the "LingTong" and "Ark" mobile CT series, each with distinct technical directions. These products, with their low radiation, mobility, high-quality images, and ease of use, meet diagnostic needs in various clinical settings, including hospitals, health check-up centers, and emergency rescue scenarios. Our self-developed "Automation Balance System" has seamlessly integrated CBCT technology with spiral CT technology, which is expected to elevate CBCT performance to be comparable to 64-slice spiral CT.
In addition, Aert Medical is actively developing low-field mobile MRI systems. These are compact, feature short scanning times, and offer complete scanning sequences and high image quality, enabling quick diagnosis of the head, spine, joints, and breast. Our upcoming ultra-low-field head mobile MRI will be used in neurosurgical operating rooms to provide precise surgical navigation and diagnostic support for stroke patients.
Global Strategy and Collaboration
Aert Medical's subsidiary, Wenzhou Aert Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., specializes in the design and development of image sensors, gathering a team of experienced experts in the field. The CMOS flat-panel detectors currently under development will provide strong support as core components for mobile CT devices. Additionally, the photon counting detectors under development are at the forefront of global technology, and their successful development will position Aert Microelectronics among the leading companies in medical chip R&D.

We aim to become a global leader in mobile medical equipment manufacturing, promoting the widespread adoption of intelligent medical devices, and making significant contributions to the development of global healthcare.
Our technologies fit into the clinical and practical realities of Rwandan diagnostic workflows, improving orthopedic outcomes across several key areas:
As competitive sports and athletic training programs expand in Rwanda, dynamic imaging of joints, ligaments, and tendons becomes essential. Wenzhou Aert's orthopedic-specific scanners provide high-resolution imaging of the ACL, meniscus, and ankle ligaments. By locating these scanners directly in physical therapy centers, providers can offer fast scanning and dynamic imaging of musculoskeletal pathology without overloading hospital MRI departments.
Rehabilitation facilities like the Gatagara Center require precise anatomical mapping to design custom orthotics and prosthetics. The Wenzhou Aert 3D Foot and Plantar Pressure Scanners map foot morphology, stance structure, and gait dynamics. These scanners generate high-resolution 3D models (exportable in STL/OBJ formats) that link directly to local CAD/CAM milling machines and 3D printers, streamlining the production of custom orthotic insoles.
For trauma triage along major transport links, the "LingTong" and "Ark" mobile systems provide rapid bedside diagnostic capacity. Clinicians can perform immediate head and extremity CT/MRI scans inside ambulances or mobile clinical vans. This rapid access helps guide surgical decisions during the critical first hour of trauma care.
To support high patient throughput safely, public hospitals require robust safety systems. Incorporating intelligent ferromagnetic detectors into scan room entries protects patients and staff from projectile hazards. Visual and audio warning systems alert operators if magnetic items are detected, protecting the scanner's superconducting core.
Wenzhou Aert Medical is focused on continuous innovation. Our development pathway highlights key milestones designed to support diagnostic capability in resource-constrained environments:
Developing AI-driven image reconstruction to produce high-definition MR images from low-field scanning systems, reducing scan times and power requirements.
Integrating CMOS flat-panel detectors and advanced photon-counting chips to lower radiation doses in mobile CT applications while improving image contrast.
Deploying integrated 5G/Starlink tele-radiology systems, allowing regional clinics in Rwanda to transmit diagnostic scans to senior radiologists in Kigali instantly.
Explore our full range of 3D extremity mapping systems, superconducting helium-free open MRIs, mobile head scanners, CT scanners, and ferromagnetic safety detectors.
Shipping large medical equipment to landlocked regions requires careful planning. We manage the entire logistics chain, importing through key corridors (via Dar es Salaam or Mombasa) directly to Kigali. Wenzhou Aert engineering teams handle the complete on-site mechanical installation, electromagnetic shielding setup, and initial calibration.
We work with local biomedical engineers and imaging staff to ensure long-term operational success. Wenzhou Aert provides comprehensive on-site training. This includes teaching operators scanning protocol optimization, routine calibration, electrical management procedures, and basic troubleshooting.
Importing advanced diagnostic equipment requires meeting strict regulatory standards. We provide complete documentation support, including CE, ISO, test reports, and electrical safety certificates, helping streamline the registration and clearance process with the Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority (Rwanda FDA).
Our localized approach ensures that hospitals in Kigali, Butare, and Gisenyi receive the same quality of service, installation calibration, and ongoing support as major medical centers worldwide.
