Unlike the 1,500 liters of helium used by conventional MRI magnets, the Philips BlueSeal magnet uses a new, highly efficient microcooling technology that requires only 7 liters of liquid helium. This reduces potential long interruptions to MR services due to helium issues and eliminates helium refill costs over the life of the magnet. The BlueSeal MR Mobile can also connect to Philips Radiology Operations Command Center (ROCC), a multi-vendor, multi-modality virtual imaging solution, which securely connects technicians with imaging experts remotely in real time using audio, video and chat.
