Hidden science: Quench = Cryogen Chaos

When an MRI magnet quenches, liquid helium heats up, expands 700x, and vents as gas! That’s why MRI rooms have special vent pipes, keeping helium from taking over the oxygen in the room.

Hidden Science of MRI

The Helium Vanish Trick
At -452°F, your MRI magnet floats in liquid helium to stay superconductive. But if your coldhead or chiller fails, that helium boils off into thin air, costing $25K+ to refill.

Monitoring = money saved.

Myth vs. Fact: MRI Edition

❌ Myth: MRI scans are quiet.
✅ Fact: Inside the bore, an MRI can hit 120 decibels, as loud as a rock concert!

That “knocking” comes from gradient coils switching on and off rapidly. Patients need ear protection, but here’s what most don’t realize: those same vibrations can stress scanner components over time.

That’s why preventative maintenance + remote monitoring are so important. They don’t just protect patients, they protect your uptime.

Thinking about a Mobile MRI?
Here’s what you need to know about its basic configuration:

Built into a 48'-60' trailer with control and scan rooms
Houses a 12,000 lb superconductive magnet over the rear axle for stability
Reinforced walls to handle magnetic forces
Patient-fridnly access with wide doors and lift systems

Knowing the layout helps you pick the right site, plan delivery, and avoid costly setup surprises.

Taking Out a 1.5T Magnet Ain’t Light Work
Literally and figuratively.

This removal was heavy, tight, and needed some serious gear to get it done safely.
(Think forklifts, rigging, extra hands, and a whole lotta coffee.)

When you're pulling 12,000 lbs of superconductive magnet through a hospital hallway, there's no room for guesswork.

At SWMR, we bring:
✅ The tools
✅ The team
✅ The know-how..to make the impossible look routine.

Pics incoming, watch how we wrestled this beast out of the building.
