Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar has received its first Helium-free 1.5 Tesla MRI machine. The Philips Ingenia Ambition model is expected to revolutionize the healthcare industry in Pakistan. Its advanced capabilities allow doctors to make more accurate diagnoses and its Helium-free technology significantly reduces operational costs, making it more affordable for patients. Helium-free MRI machines come with a significant incremental upfront cost but can pay back in terms of cost savings and avoids the risk of damaging the machine due to helium shortages.
