BlueSeal SE
Feel the freedom with BlueSeal
Based on its revolutionary fully sealed BlueSeal magnet, BlueSeal SE lets you experience more productive¹ helium-free MR operations. The BlueSeal SE delivers superb image quality, with up to 80% higher sharpness⁷, even for challenging patients, and performs MRI exams up to 3x faster² with SmartSpeed Precise accelerations for all anatomies. Fast overall exam-time is further achieved by simplifying patient handling at the bore with the guided patient setup. Furthermore, the BlueSeal SE offers an immersive audio-visual experience to help calm patients and guide them through MR exams.

Features
Forget about helium with BlueSeal magnet
Philips BlueSeal uses a new micro-cooling technology which requires only a negligible amount (less than 0.5% of today’s volume¹) of liquid helium for cooling. This fraction of the usual amount of liquid helium is placed in the magnet during manufacturing and then fully sealed. As a result, no liquid helium can escape³, either suddenly during a loss of field or gradually.
Designed to facilitate low siting and other construction costs
Compared to existing ZBO systems, BlueSeal is
up to 2050 kg (4,520 lbs) lighter⁴, eliminating the need for a quench
pipe and making installation easier in densely populated
cities, commercial buildings and sites with construction
limitations. The system’s flexibility enables continuous
operation without helium-related interruptions, ensuring
access to MR services even in challenging environments and remote areas, where
it is difficult to supply helium.
Toward uninterrupted MR operations
The BlueSeal magnet helps you prepare for emergency
situations and to resolve small incidents in less than 6 hours, and be back in
operations. It is the next step towards uninterrupted, more
productive daily MRI operations. AI driven EasySwitch is
designed to minimize unexpected downtime.
It allows the BlueSeal magnet to be discharged and recharged
behind the MRI console, without helium loss.
