Abstract
Cryogenically cooled medical instruments and their dependence on cryogenic liquids are described, including magnetic resonance imagers, positron emission amd computerized tomography scanners, and SQUID-based devices. The advantages and disadvantages of common sources of refrigeration are reviewed. These include storage dewars, on-site liquefiers, Gifford-McMahon cryocoolers, Joule-Thomson refrigerators, and thermoelectric coolers. The effect of high temperature superconductivity on magnet and SQUID systems is explored.
