MRI Technology Overview

Cooling MRI magnets to extremely low temperatures using liquid helium to maintain superconductivity and minimize resistance in wires.

A state of matter where electrical resistance is almost zero, allowing efficient current flow without energy loss.

The cryogenic fluid used to maintain the superconductive state of MRI magnets. It boils at very low temperatures.

A device that removes heat and helps reduce the evaporative loss of liquid helium in MRI systems.

The insulated container holding the MRI magnet and liquid helium.

The process of increasing or decreasing the strength of the MRI magnet's magnetic field, controlled for efficient energy use & safe operation.

The evaporation of liquid helium due to heat, which needs to be managed efficiently to maintain the MRI magnet's superconducting state.

Different operational stages of MRI machine such as ramping up, normal operation, and shipping.

A technology that uses refrigeration to cool down materials to extremely low temperatures.

A cryocooler system with two stages of cooling, improving efficiency.

A method to cool atoms and molecules to nearly absolute zero using lasers.

Atoms moving toward a laser experience a blue shift (higher frequency), absorbing photons and slowing down; the reverse happens for atoms moving away (red shift).

Cooling of magnets used in MRI machines to maintain their superconducting state.

Devices placed on a superconducting magnet to monitor its temperature.

Adjusting the wavelength of laser light to control cooling efficiency.

Process of reclaiming escaping Helium gas, ensuring it can be reused
