Thank you - none of which want an MRI "on the hoof" as it were. Nor does the UN or Doctors without Borders.

But we do have a local non-profit MRI provider looking.

Thanks again!

Can you bring it to Kutztown next show Peter?

Heheh...

No dismantling it ?

Minimum 30,000 pounds, dry weight. This is less the bed, controls, and support accessories.
The magnet must be immersed in liquid helium at all times, even when unpowered, unless the unit is to be decommissioned.

Does the helium vessel have a L N2 outer jacket like the dewars that we
had our helium delivered in to the physics lab, and thus requiring an
on-going supply of both (liquified) gasses?

Transportation and storage as above.

Liquid helium is considered a super-fluid inasmuch as it climbs walls and will go through molecular-size openings.

That is if you reduce the pressure by pumping until the temperature
drops to below about 2°A (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluid_helium-4). I remember doing
this and seeing the helium stop boiling energetically and go unnaturally
calm. It was still boiling, of course, because heat was still leaking
in...

Helium will leak even in its gaseous state. Metalized Mylar balloons last much longer than latex, but they still fail far more quickly filled with helium than with air. The helium diffuses right through the material.

Hence the need for a helium leak detector mass spectrometer. Anyone
with this piece of equipment NEEDS a HLDMS to go with it.
