Why Does MRI Require Protection From Industrial UPS?
The MRI machine produces large impulse current and electromagnetic interference during operation, which has high requirements for the power protection system and does not allow intermittent pauses or interruptions...
What is MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a high-tech integrated precision medical and scientific research equipment, which integrates advanced technology in many fields such as physics, electronic engineering and computer science.
It uses a powerful superconducting magnet to generate a stable and uniform magnetic field, stimulates the magnetic resonance phenomenon of hydrogen nuclei in the body through precise regulation of radio frequency pulses, and uses gradient magnetic field and advanced signal processing technology to obtain high-resolution three-dimensional images of human tissues, with non-invasive, non-radiation and other advantages, and has irreplaceable value in disease diagnosis and molecular structure analysis.
Development of MRI market
The global magnetic resonance imaging market is expected to reach $795.51 billion in 2025 from $591.36 billion in 2017. From 2018 to 2025, the magnetic resonance imaging market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 3.8%.
To better deliver health-related services, ministries of health around the world are providing funding to researchers and manufacturing companies to meet the growing demand for diagnostic and treatment options. For example, in February 2017, the British Columbia Ministry of Health announced $25 million in additional funding to improve surgery and MRI scans in the region.
MRI is expensive and can't be turned off?
MRI is expensive, according to the size of the magnetic force is mainly divided into 1.0T, 1.5T and 3.0T, the price is between $1.5 million and $5 million, as a precision equipment, MRI also needs regular maintenance and inspection whose costs are also expensive.
Besides, the magnetic field generated by the MRI machine is very powerful, up to 1.5 Tesla; The magnetic field of the Earth's equator is only 0.3 Gauss, and since 1 Tesla is equal to 10,000 Gauss, the magnetic field strength of a 1.5T nuclear magnetic resonance equipment is 50,000 times that of the equatorial magnetic field. Such powerful magnetic fields are not naturally occurring, of course, but are produced by superconductors. But superconductors can only maintain magnetic fields at low temperatures, and to do so, they need to be filled with liquid helium. Only continuous power dissipation, keep the machine running normally, liquid helium will not fail. Once liquid helium fails, it has to be refilled, and the market price is as high as $10 a litre. An MRI machine can be refilled for 2,000 litres at a cost of $20,000. Therefore, in addition to damage maintenance, the MRI machine will basically not power off and shut down, so it needs the continuous protection of uninterruptible power supply(UPS).
Why does MRI require protection from industrial UPS?
There are many unstable factors in the public power system, such as the grid voltage sometimes high, low, surge, impact and sudden interruption, which seriously affect the safe operation of medical equipment, and even damage the machine and cause serious economic losses. Under normal circumstances, these precision equipment needs to use online UPS as a power supply.
In addition, the MRI machine produces large impulse current and electromagnetic interference during operation, which has high requirements for the power protection system and does not allow intermittent pauses or interruptions. The UPS equipped with must have high reliability, anti-interference ability and strong impact resistance to ensure the stable operation of high-end precision equipment.
Why Gooden UPS is a good power solution for your MRI?
- You need an Online UPS
When the mains supply is available, the online UPS provides stable sine wave power output from the inverter. When the mains supply is faulty or completely interrupted, the UPS built-in or external battery packs continue to provide DC power to the inverter to ensure that the inverter output sine wave without interruption.
- You need an Industrial UPS
Industrial UPS includes an output isolation transformer which helps to protect sensitive medical equipment from power surges and other power disturbances. Additionally, transformer-based UPS systems provide more effective regulation of the output voltage and frequency, which helps to reduce the risk of power-related damage to medical equipment.
Gooden 3-phase Transformer-based Online UPS provides the perfect power solution for your MRI and other precision medical imaging equipment.
