PHILIPS PRESENTS WORLD’S FIRST MOBILE MRI SYSTEM WITH HELIUM-FREE OPERATIONS
BlueSeal MR Mobile’s unique magnet technology advances patient outcomes and access to care with high-quality diagnostic imaging and enhanced workflows.
Philips Mobile MRI system expanding access to care
Royal Philips showcased the world’s first mobile MRI system with helium-free operations at #RSNA23. BlueSeal MR Mobile, the industry’s first and only 1.5T fully sealed magnet, delivers patient-centric MRI services where and whenever needed. Unlike other mobile MRI scanners, the BlueSeal MR Mobile is more agile and lightweight so it can be located in more convenient places for patients, like near a hospital’s main entrance.
With more than 600 systems installed globally, the MRI scanners are equipped with Philips’ BlueSeal magnet technology that saved more than 1.5 million litres of helium since 2018. The extension of this breakthrough technology in a mobile unit means Philips will be able to expand quality access to MRI exams for more patients in more places, in a more sustainable way with helium-free operations.

Unlike conventional MRI magnets, which typically require around 1,500 litres of liquid helium, a Philips BlueSeal magnet only needs to be pre-loaded with 7 litres, providing a major advantage in terms of up-time and costs. BlueSeal MR Mobile can also connect to Philips Radiology Operations Command Center (ROCC) a multi-vendor, multi-modality, virtual imaging solution, which securely connects technologists with remote imaging experts in real-time using audio, video, and peer-to-peer text chat capabilities.
