METHOD FOR COOLING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

A method for cooling an MRI apparatus and an MRI apparatus are provided. The MRI apparatus comprises a magnet, a primary cooling device and a secondary cooling device. The primary cooling device is in contact with the magnet and the secondary cooling device separately. The method comprises continuously monitoring the pressure of the magnet; turning off the secondary cooling device if the pressure is greater than or equal to a first preset pressure, less than a second preset pressure and in a rising state. The method and MRI apparatus can save electricity, and since the use duration of the secondary cooling device is also reduced, the lifespan of the secondary cooling device is prolonged, thus saving costs.
