Helium hitch: Why US-Israel war on Iran could cause MRI scan delays
Al Jazeera
Shortage of helium will have ripple effects across medical and other industries — impacting MRI scanners, semiconductors and more.
The United States-Israel war on Iran, and Tehran’s response, have disrupted about one-third of global supplies of helium, which is critical for medical uses such as MRI scans, as well as in high-tech industries such as the semiconductor sector.
This is largely due to shipping restrictions and the halt of production by a chief helium producer, Qatar.
