after what kind of shutdown?
- ceejayoz 7mo agoIf the helium gets warm, you have to vent it outside before it goes kaboom from the pressure. https://radiology.ucsf.edu/patient-care/patient-safety/mri-safety-guidelines/magnet-quench https://radiology.ucsf.edu/patient-care/patient-safety/mri-s...
- amatecha 7mo agoDamn, that's intense: > If the scan room door is closed when a quench occurs and helium escapes into the scan room, the depletion of oxygen causes a critical increase in pressure in the room compared with the control area. This produces high pressure in the scan room, which may prevent opening of the door. If this should happen, the glass partition between the scan and control rooms should be broken to release the pressure. The scan room door can then be opened as usual and the patient evacuated. In such a case the patient should be immediately evacuated and evaluated for asphyxia, hypothermia and ruptured eardrums.
