Liquid Helium in MRI Systems: Why Hospitals Depend on It
In the radiology centers of modern hospitals, MRI magnetic resonance imaging equipment is the core equipment for accurate diagnosis and is widely used in key medical scenarios such as tumor screening, neurological detection, and diagnosis of soft tissue lesions. Liquid helium is the only refrigerant that can meet the low-temperature operation requirements of medical superconducting MRI magnets, and has become an indispensable core consumable for MRI equipment by virtue of its extremely low temperature and special quantum physical properties. It can be said that without liquid helium, mainstream clinical MRI equipment will not work properly, and hospitals will be paralyzed in their precise image diagnosis system. In this article, we will analyze the core role of liquid helium in MRI systems.
