← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when cryogenic pumps in an MRI unit lose suction?
A)Quench causing magnetic field collapse✓
B)Increased helium gas consumption steadily
C)Elevated RF noise artifact appearance
D)Reduced gradient coil cooling efficiency
💡 Explanation
A quench and magnetic field collapse occur because the **Joule-Thomson effect** cooling is lost when cryogenic pumps fail to compress helium, therefore the superconducting magnet rapidly warms, rather than maintaining its supercooled critical temperature, thus releasing latent heat.
