Why are cryogens used in mri?

To keep the magnet cool. MRI machines need to generate a very strong magnetic field. They do this using superconducting electromagnet- basically a large coil of wire with a large current passing through it. The magnet must be kept very cold, almost at absolute zero, or it will not superconduct.


What is the biggest magnet on earth?

The biggest magnet on Earth is the Earth itself. Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core, creating a magnetic field that extends into space and interacts with the solar wind to form the magnetosphere.


When Liquid helium is cut off by a power loss what happens to a MRI magnet?

When power is lost, the liquid helium in an MRI magnet will begin to warm up and boil off. This can lead to a rapid increase in pressure inside the magnet, causing a potential risk of an explosion if not handled properly. The magnet will also lose its superconducting properties, rendering the MRI machine unusable until it is refilled with liquid helium and re-cooled.

Why are superconductors used in strong magnets?

Superconducting magnets are electromagnets wound from superconducting coil (wire). Wire that conducts electricity with zero loss is said to be super conducting. At the present time zero resistance is not offered by any known material at room temperature, so superconducting magnets must be chilled to very low temperature.
