1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Inductors are commonly used in the power supply units of medical equipment to filter and smooth the output voltage. Medical devices such as MRI machines, CT scanners, ultrasound systems, and patient monitors require clean and stable DC power to function correctly.Inductors are commonly used in the power supply units of medical equipment to filter and smooth the output voltage.

2. Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)

Many medical devices use switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) for efficient power conversion. Inductors are key components in SMPS circuits, where they help in stepping up or stepping down the voltage as required. For example, in a defibrillator, an inductor in the boost converter circuit stores energy and then releases it at a higher voltage to charge the capacitor that delivers the shock to the patient.

3. DC-DC Converters and Voltage Regulation

Medical equipment often requires different voltage levels for various components, such as microcontrollers, sensors, displays, and communication modules. Inductors are used in DC-DC converters within the power supply circuitry to step up or step down the voltage to match the needs of each component.
