Siemens MAGNETOM Superconducting Electromagnet from Germany
This superconducting electromagnet is designed specifically for use in Siemens MAGNETOM MRI scanners, generating the strong, stable magnetic field required for high-resolution medical imaging. It falls under HTS 8505.90.70.00 as it is used solely or principally for MRI apparatus (excluding heading 9018 medical instruments). The coil assembly uses niobium-titanium wire cooled by liquid helium to achieve fields up to 3 Tesla.
