High-Field MRI

Classified as a critical mineral, helium is a limited resource routinely used in the medical imaging industry, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), where helium has traditionally been required for high-quality diagnostic imaging without radiation exposure.

As a result of Fujifilm’s ongoing commitment to researching alternative technologies, ZeroHelium is a 1.5T superconducting MRI technology that does not use liquid helium at all.

By moving away from the conventional method of cooling with liquid helium, which consumes Earth’s limited helium resources, Fujifilm’s ZeroHelium technology reduces helium consumption in NMR from approximately 2,000 liters to zero. By implementing a new cooling mechanism, ZeroHelium technology maintains superconductivity at -269°C

Developed using deep learning technology, ZeroHelium offers in-depth image detail along with shorter scan times compared to previous MRI models.

Functions are available to remove and suppress artifacts in the image data in order to provide radiologists with high-resolution details and clarity during image reconstruction.

Energy Management – The ECO Mode Plus feature is designed to manage energy consumption by supplying only the appropriate amount of cooling power to the magnet, rather than using a traditional compressor with a continuous, unregulated power supply.
