Abstract

In a method for cooling an MRI apparatus, and an MRI apparatus, the MRI apparatus has a magnet, a primary cooling device and a secondary cooling device, and a magnet controller, the primary cooling device being in contact with the magnet and the secondary cooling device separately. The magnet controller continuously monitors a pressure of the magnet, and turns off the secondary cooling device if the pressure is greater than or equal to a first preset pressure, of less than a second preset pressure and in a rising state. The present invention can save electricity, and since the duration of use of the secondary cooling device is also reduced, the lifespan of the secondary cooling device is prolonged, saving costs.
