摘要:
In a gradient coil and a method to manufacture a gradient coil for a magnetic resonance apparatus, the gradient coil has at least one saddle coil, the saddle coil having a spatially shaped, electrically conductive plate with a line-shaped recess penetrating the plate. Conductor structures that create a gradient magnetic field in an examination region when a current signal flows therethrough are formed by the recess and by the shaping of the plate. The recess is filled with an electrically insulating material before implementation of the spatial shaping.

A device is disclosed for superposed magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography imaging. In at least one embodiment the device includes a gradient coil and a positron emission tomography unit (PET unit). The PET unit is arranged within the gradient coil and has a first shield against radiofrequency radiation which in part surrounds the PET unit, and a second shield against radiofrequency radiation is arranged on the gradient coil. The first shield is connected to the second shield to form a shield which is at least partly closed. This makes a closed shield for the PET unit possible, which nevertheless is still easily accessible for maintenance purposes due to the two-part design of the shield.

Disclosed is a vacuum housing for a magnetic resonance apparatus having a recess for leading through lead wires to elements located inside the vacuum housing, and a first lead-through bushing module. The first lead-through bushing module is provided with a first closing plate which is configured so as to vacuum-tightly seal the recess along with a second closing plate. The first bushing module is also provided with a first structural component that is to be at least partially led through the recess during assembly of the lead-through bushing module and whose size defines a minimum size of the recess, which is greater than the size of the first closing plate.
摘要:
A cooling apparatus for arrangement between two surface coils of a gradient coil to dissipate the heat produced when current is supplied to the surface coils by a coolant flowing into the cooling apparatus, is formed as a flexible, mat-type surface structure, and has a coolant-holding space with at least one coolant inflow and at least one coolant outflow.
摘要:
Magnetic resonance device with an assembly having a recess, in which a gradient coil unit is attached with at least one attachment means, the attachment means having two members, between which an elastic element is disposed, only one of the members in each instance being in contact with either the gradient coil unit or the assembly, with the attachment means acting as an attachment means having no elastic element in a first attachment state, in which at least a minimum force presses the two members together, in that the two members have stop surfaces, which are in contact with each other due to the minimum force acting on the members compressed elastic element and with the attachment means acting as a spring unit in a second fixing state, in that the elastic element pushes the members apart in the event of forces smaller than the minimum force and causes the attachment means to be fixed in relation to the gradient coil unit and the assembly. This has the advantage that there is no loosening of the attachment means in particular even in the event of thermal fluctuations.

In one aspect, a generator for generating time-variable magnetic fields is provided. The generator includes a gradient coil having conductors extending in an area defined by a hollow first cylinder, and having no conductors in a central area of the hollow first cylinder, the central area defined by the volume of a second cylinder arranged coaxially with and inside the first cylinder, the second cylinder having a diameter of one third the diameter of the first cylinder. The generator also includes a high frequency shielding device enclosing the central area but not the conductors, a high frequency antenna arranged in the central area; and a coaxial connecting cable operatively connected to the high frequency antenna arranged along a longitudinal axis of the first and second cylinder, the connecting cable penetrating the high frequency shielding device at a plurality of locations.
