Siemens Symphony Magnetom 1.5T MRI 2004

Medrad Spectris Solaris Injector 3004213 11384

Series 23449
Software NUMARIS/4
Version syngo MR A40 DHHS

And:

Siemens Primus LINAC 2002 3413

Low Photon Energy MV 6
Dose Rate MU/min 50&300
High Photon Energy MV 10,15,23
Dose Rate MU/min 10,15,23
Electron Energy MeV 6 to 21
Electron Dose Rate MU/min 300 or 900
Available with MLC Optional
Minimum Room Dimensions:
Depth 19'
Width 18'
Height 9'6"
Power Requirements KVA 9'6"
Water Requirements Gal/min 9'6"


The MRI is fully operational and with all supporting equipment.
The LINAC is not operational and would either be for parts or for full refurbishment.

The MRI Machine is on the third floor of a medical office building in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and would have to be craned out through an outside wall. All costs for same would be by the taker, who (which) would have to be fully insured, licensed in Philadelphia, and bear all costs of disassembly, removal, and restoration of building integrity. There would be no direct costs for the machine or supporting equipment.

The LINAC machine is on the first floor of the same building, and subject to the same requirements for removal - whatever means and methods and restoration on the remover.

Please e-mail me directly. Either we get this done before 1/31/2020, or the machines both go out as scrap. Not kidding. Even a little bit.

None of the used equipment companies want them? MRI machines have very nice Dc to several MHz low distortion power amplifiers. I've heard of some in the 15 KW range. Some were modified Crown amplifiers.

Since this is older, does it have any of the Tektronix video displays> I've seen some medical equipment that used the half rack X-Y monitors that fit the rack mounts for Waveform Monitors and Vector scopes. The old Waterman hospital in Eustis Florida had sold the equipment to a dealer, then left it outside in the rain for two weeks. It had a nice pair of Tek 620 X-Y monitors. They would have made great displays for Curve Tracers.
 
The issue is getting them out of their present locations. The used-equipment guys do not want to take on the liability of swinging a 30,000 + pound piece of equipment out of a third-floor via a hole-in-the-wall.

The displays are all high-res 1040p screens with some additional software-based enhancements. These units were in daily use until about mid-November.

At this point, we are speaking to several non-profits, and even a couple of embassies for smaller (and poorer) countries.

Good luck finding a new home for them. At one time I had to do certified destruction on a tractor trailer load of medical equipment. It arrived with a 1/4" hole drilled through the main circuit board of every unit. The amount of waste was disgusting. All we recovered were motors, displays and small parts. The circuit boards were required to be shipped to a gold processor to be burnt for recovery. I could see this, if the equipment had been recalled as defective, but 95% of it was less than two years old.

That would be great if it could be repurposed in that way.

Thank you - none of which want an MRI "on the hoof" as it were. Nor does the UN or Doctors without Borders.

But we do have a local non-profit MRI provider looking.

Thanks again!

Can you bring it to Kutztown next show Peter?

Heheh...

Minimum 30,000 pounds, dry weight. This is less the bed, controls, and support accessories.
The magnet must be immersed in liquid helium at all times, even when unpowered, unless the unit is to be decommissioned.

Does the helium vessel have a L N2 outer jacket like the dewars that we
had our helium delivered in to the physics lab, and thus requiring an
on-going supply of both (liquified) gasses?

Transportation and storage as above.

Liquid helium is considered a super-fluid inasmuch as it climbs walls and will go through molecular-size openings.

That is if you reduce the pressure by pumping until the temperature
drops to below about 2°A (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluid_helium-4). I remember doing
this and seeing the helium stop boiling energetically and go unnaturally
calm. It was still boiling, of course, because heat was still leaking
in...

Helium will leak even in its gaseous state. Metalized Mylar balloons last much longer than latex, but they still fail far more quickly filled with helium than with air. The helium diffuses right through the material.

Hence the need for a helium leak detector mass spectrometer. Anyone
with this piece of equipment NEEDS a HLDMS to go with it.
