Philips has won the "Best New Technology Solution for Radiology" award in the 7th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program for their BlueSeal helium-free MRI operations magnet. The BlueSeal Magnet is the industry's first and only fully sealed magnet that requires 0.5% of the helium (amounting to ~0.2mcf) normally needed over the operational lifetime of industry-standard MRI system magnets. This breakthrough design addresses the urgent need to reduce the consumption of helium.
