Ingenia Ambition 1.5T S
Excel in your daily MR services, helium-free
Based on its revolutionary fully sealed BlueSeal magnet, Ingenia Ambition S lets you experience more productive¹ helium-free MR operations. The Ingenia Ambition S delivers superb image quality, with up to 80% higher sharpness⁷, even for challenging patients, and performs MRI exams up to 3x faster² with SmartSpeed Precise accelerations for all anatomies. Fast overall exam-time is further achieved by simplifying patient handling at the bore with the guided patient setup. Furthermore, the Ingenia Ambition S offers an immersive audio-visual experience to help calm patients and guide them through MR exams.

Features
Forget about helium with BlueSeal magnet
Philips BlueSeal uses a new micro-cooling technology which requires only a negligible amount (less than 0.5% of today’s volume¹) of liquid helium for cooling. This fraction of the usual amount of liquid helium is placed in the magnet during manufacturing and then fully sealed. As a result, no liquid helium can escape⁵, either suddenly during a loss of field or gradually.
Designed to facilitate low siting and other construction costs
Compared to existing ZBO systems, BlueSeal is
up to 2050 kg (4,520 lbs) lighter⁴, eliminating the need for a quench
pipe and making installation easier in densely populated
cities, commercial buildings and sites with construction
limitations. The system’s flexibility enables continuous
operation without helium-related interruptions, ensuring
access to MR services even in challenging environments and remote areas, where
it is difficult to supply helium.
Toward uninterrupted MR operations
Relying on unique digital controllers and 24/7 e-Alerts connectivity³, Philips BlueSeal qualifies as the first magnet driven by adaptive intelligence to support a set of unique service functionalities called EasySwitch. EasySwitch solutions aim to minimize unexpected downtime in case of MR operational issues.
