Diagnostic imaging expert, Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging launched its NEW Zero-Helium Small Animal 1.5T MRI system this week It’s the world\u2019s first veterinary-specific machine that does not rely on helium to cool the MRI magnet coils – it’s 100% helium-free!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the Helium Crisis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The extraction and usage of helium is quickly outpacing its natural synthesis, and plummeting supply has caused helium prices to soar. For veterinary hospitals already using high-field MRI machines, or those considering them in the future, reliance on helium to keep them functioning may not be sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was for this reason, that Hallmarq focused its attention on an alternative solution; the Zero-Helium Small Animal 1.5T MRI <\/a>system. Fortunately, veterinarians can now experience the benefits of a system designed specifically without the need for helium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the award-winning success of its first and second-generation MRI machines, Hallmarq\u2019s third-generation system combines the proven efficacy of its previous machines with a more sustainable cooling system to maintain consistent operability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovations in MRI Technology <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This NEW system uses an alternative cooling mechanism to create a super-conducting magnet with zero liquid helium. It uses vacuum technology and a conduction-based cooling system that does not require helium, <\/strong>or any additional power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patient at the Forefront<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using a clean-sheet approach, the Hallmarq Zero-Helium Small Animal 1.5T MRI was planned\r\nfrom the ground up with animal anatomy and veterinary users in mind. Features and benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
