Reduced-Helium Magnets from Philips a Game-Changer in MRI Scanners

August 18, 2021 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Reduced-Helium Magnets from Philips a Game-Changer in MRI Scanners

Maximizing image quality is a given in any new magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Delivering that capability to the maximum number of patients and doing it cost effectively, however, depends on optimizing workflows and maximizing scanner up-time. Many radiology departments are currently under extreme pressure to perform more MRI scans on more patients, not only due to the aging population but also to deal with the backlog of cases resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.
