My name is Enrico Treichel. I'm a medical engineer and have been working as an MRI service technician for over 5 years. I know how these machines work. And I know what happens when they don't.
The idea came to me after yet another quench. The operator asked me whether it was possible to monitor the cooling system. The honest answer was: not really. So I built Mag-Guard — a system that any Siemens MRI operator can get their hands on.
MRI appointments are booked weeks or months in advance. Every unplanned failure means longer waiting times for patients — and significant costs for operators. Mag-Guard is my contribution to changing that. For patients and operators alike.
