    摘要: An MRI apparatus with an enhanced thermal control system, the apparatus including:



    a static magnetic field generation unit with at least two magnetic poles at a predetermined distance and forming a gantry for housing an object to be imaged;
    one heater for heating the magnetic poles and/or the magnetic yoke;
    one or more temperature sensors measuring the temperature of the at least one pole and/or of the yoke;
    a thermal control unit, including:
    a processing unit, with control software;
    the processing unit having input ports for receiving temperature measurement signals from the one or more temperature sensors;
    the processing unit having output ports for feeding driving signals to the one heater;
    the control software including instructions to generate the driving signals of the one heater.
