ASG Superconductors - Magnets for Medical Applications
Superconducting technologies and magnets are increasingly finding application in medical diagnostics and therapies. Capitalizing on skills and experiences derived from research and industrial collaborations, ASG is constantly improving its competences and is able to design and build the following types of magnets for medical diagnostics:
- Magnets for “whole body” MRI or dedicated systems
- Closed bore and open sky magnets
- “Zero-boil-off” or “cryogen-free” magnets
- Magnets based on LTS and HTS technology
- Actively and/or passively shielded magnets.
Furthermore, also for medical diagnostics, ASG designs and builds the following "whole body" superconducting magnet systems:
- Cryogen free - gantry mounted magnets able to rotate around an isocenter in order to deliver IMPT/IMRT.
In the medical therapy sector ASG designs and builds superconducting or resistive magnets for hadron therapy accelerators:
- High-medium-low energy beamline magnets for synchrotrons
- Superconducting, cryogen-free or helium cooled magnets, using either LTS or HTS technology for cyclotrons and synchro-cyclotrons
- Gantry mounted bending magnets for the delivery of particle beams.
We design and build magnets for MRI applications able to provide magnetic field intensities ranging from fractions of one tesla up to Ultra High Field (UHF).
Furthermore, ASG works in partnership with its clients in the definition and development of products, through assistance in designing, prototyping and optimizing the magnet system, shortening time to market and improving overall system competitivity.
