Inside the MRI Factory – Winding the Super-Cooled Magnet (Full Process)

Step inside the high-tech cleanrooms where medical miracles are made. 🏥🧲❄️

In this immersive industrial documentary, we witness the incredible precision required to build a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner. Watch the delicate process of winding miles of Niobium-Titanium superconducting wire to create a magnetic field 30,000 times stronger than Earth's.

See the complete assembly cycle: from the robotic winding of the gradient coils to the critical "quenching" tests and filling the vessel with liquid helium to reach absolute zero temperatures.

🎬 Process Highlights:

The Wire: Robotic winding of superconducting niobium-titanium filaments.

The Vacuum: Sealing the magnet in a vacuum vessel to prevent heat transfer.

The Freeze: Cooling the core with Liquid Helium to -452°F (-269°C).

The Assembly: Installing the RF coils and gradient magnets.

The Ramp Up: Powering the magnet for the first time (Ramping).

⚙️ Machine Specs:

Field Strength: 1.5 Tesla to 3.0 Tesla

Wire Length: ~100+ miles per magnet

Coolant: Liquid Helium (4 Kelvin)

Weight: 4,000 – 10,000 kg

Experience the silence of the cleanroom and the roar of the cooling pumps.
