Medical Applications
Superconducting magnets for medical applications including dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), radio pharmaceutical production, compact cyclotron and steering achromats for proton therapy.
Medical Applications are inherently proprietary and thus we are not able to provide details of design specifics. We encourage you to contact us directly so that we may discuss design parameters specific to your objectives.
We respect our customers Confidential Information and routinely establish Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) in advance of details discussions.
Superconducting magnets enable powerful and precise medical systems—from directing proton beams for cancer treatment, to producing PET radioisotopes, to generating the stable, uniform fields required for MRI and NMR. Their high field strength, compact design, and ability to operate cryogen-free are helping make advanced medical technologies more compact, efficient, and clinically accessible.
Superconducting magnets play a critical role in a range of medical technologies by providing strong, stable, and highly uniform magnetic fields. Some areas of applications include:
Proton Therapy: Superconducting magnet arrays guide and focus proton beams through rotating gantries, enabling precise delivery of radiation to cancerous tumors while allowing the beamline to rotate 360° around the patient. Compact, lightweight superconducting magnets can help reduce the size and footprint of these treatment systems.
Medical Radioisotope Production: Cryogen-free superconducting magnets are used in cyclotrons for PET (positron emission tomography) radioisotope production. Self-shielded magnet systems can provide a compact solution suitable for installation close to clinical imaging or nuclear medicine areas, supporting localized production of medical tracers.
MRI and NMR: Superconducting magnets provide the high-field strength and exceptional field uniformity required for magnetic resonance imaging. Applications include preclinical MRI for small-animal imaging, with systems ranging from approximately 1.5 T to 7 T. High magnetic-field uniformity is essential for producing high-quality, reliable images.
In the tradition of Cryomagnetics' quality control plan, magnets for medical use undergo exhaustive tested before integration into the cryostat. All magnet specifications are verified. After we are satisfied with the preliminary tests, cryostat assembly begins. Upon completion of the cryostat, another series of full system tests are performed at the factory. The customer is welcome and encouraged to attend these tests. Only after successful completion of all tests will the system be shipped.
