This project aims to develop a liquid-helium-free superconducting technology to address the need for more affordable MRI magnets that currently rely on expensive, limited supplies of liquid helium. This project expects to generate a world-first, much needed MRI systems to be operated in persistent mode without a power supply, to obtain high-resolution images and low-cost operation. The expected outcomes include a novel, lightweight, easy-to-operate magnesium diboride superconducting MRI magnet prototype under persistent mode operation. This should provide significant benefits, including reducing the cost associated with conventional liquid helium-dependent technologies and ensuring Australia at the forefront of MRI development worldwide.

该项目旨在开发一种无液氦超导技术，以满足目前依赖昂贵且有限的液氦供应的更实惠的 MRI 磁体的需求。该项目预计将产生世界首个急需的 MRI 系统，无需电源即可在持续模式下运行，以获得高分辨率图像和低成本运行。预期成果包括在持续模式操作下新型、轻质、易于操作的二硼化镁超导 MRI 磁体原型。这应该会带来显着的好处，包括降低与传统液氦依赖技术相关的成本，并确保澳大利亚处于全球 MRI 开发的前沿。
