Helium (He) is typically used as a coolant for the superconducting magnets in MRI machines because of its extremely low boiling point (around -269°C or -452.2°F). However, it is a non-renewable resource, and its scarcity leads to increased costs and supply chain vulnerabilities. Additionally, #helium management in #mri machines involves complex infrastructure and maintenance.
Philips BlueSeal magnet is industry-leading solution to Helium-Free MRI Technology and represents a significant advancement in medical imaging. It eliminates the dependence on helium, reducing operational costs and the need for frequent refills of liquid helium.
This solution has a notable impact on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, particularly in the environmental domain. It offers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional systems, decreases carbon footprint in usage and associated logistical transportation.
The alleviated dependency on helium and reduced cost make MRI more accessible worldwide, which can enhance safety and diagnostic capabilities in underserved regions, contributing to better health outcomes and equity. Moreover, helium-free systems help healthcare facilities comply with stringent environmental regulations, align with corporate sustainability goals and reporting requirements, demonstrating commitment to sustainable practices and building stakeholder trust.
With BlueSeal becoming more prevalent, we are shifting to a helium-free MRI world, and creating significant positive impact in the society and in the future.
