BlueSeal SE

Feel the freedom with BlueSeal
MRI systems
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
Provide an immersive visual experience
Designed to offer a relaxing sensory experience, Ambient Experience provides positive distractions for patients by incorporating dynamic lighting, projection and sound, contributing to a positive, engaging environment to benefit quality of care. From the moment a patient is moved into the scanner, through completion of the scan, the In-bore Connect solution can help patients to relax, follow directions and minimize motion.

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.
