How to save energy with your medical equipment
Healthcare consumes energy. Because every action to preserve resources counts, we create new possibilities in a world of limited resources.
We are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and to helping you reach your targets for sustainability in radiology and therapy with our products and services. Below you will find a range of energy-saving guides for various systems, as well as real-life examples of how resource preservation can make a big difference on our joint journey towards green medical imaging.

Reducing the need for helium
About a quarter of the helium consumed worldwide is used for the extreme cooling of superconducting magnets, and demand is on the rise. Because helium is such a rare resource on Earth, it makes sense to use it economically.
While conventional MRI scanners can require over 1,000 liters of liquid helium for cooling1, new technologies limit the mass of parts that need to be heavily cooled to a minimum, reducing the amount of liquid helium required to less than one liter.2
Avoiding the need for helium not only conserves valuable environmental resources. New technologies are also easier and cheaper to install than is usually the case for a conventional MRI system.
Expanding access to high-quality imaging
We provide innovative solutions that make radiology more affordable and accessible for healthcare providers to reach more patients. This strong commitment to increasing healthcare access and equity aims to empower you to keep communities healthy with early detection and preventive care.
Our new SOMATOM Pro.Pulse3 is designed to deliver the unique benefits of Dual Source technology to more customer groups such as community hospitals and rural areas due to its simple operation and its low TCO, which is comparable to that of Single Source CT.
Insights Series
The Siemens Healthineers Insights Series is our preeminent thought leadership platform, drawing on the knowledge and experience of some of the world’s most respected healthcare leaders and innovators. The Series explores emerging issues and provides you with practical solutions to today’s most pressing healthcare challenges.
