Royal Philips has introduced the first mobile MRI system with helium-free operations, known as BlueSeal MR Mobile. The first BlueSeal MR Mobile unit, developed for outpatient radiology and oncology solutions provider Akumin, will debut at RSNA23. With more than 600 systems installed globally, the MRI scanners are equipped with Philips’ BlueSeal magnet technology that have saved more than 1.5mm litres (~40mmcf or 8mmcf/year) of helium since 2018. Given that >1,000mmcf of helium is consumed each year by the global MRI industry, this is a tiny saving.
