摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a gantry with a gradient coil which applies a gradient magnetic field to a subject in a static magnetic field, a bed which slides a top board in a longitudinal direction of the top board with the subject placed thereon, a high-frequency coil which applies the gradient magnetic field and a high-frequency pulse signal to the subject, and detects a magnetic resonance signal emitted from the subject, and a damping member which damps noise which occurs when the gradient coil is driven, or a support member which supports the gradient coil, the damping member or the support member providing an asymmetrical structure with respect to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

A gradient magnetic field coil unit includes a main coil layer that has a main coil for generating a gradient magnetic field and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. A shield coil layer that is attached to the outside of the main coil layer and has a shield coil for generating a magnetic field which shields a leakage magnetic field from the main coil. A cooling layer is attached between the main coil layer and the shield coil layer and has a plurality of flow paths for refrigerant. The flow paths are arranged in a substantially circumferential shape with the central axis of the main coil layer set to the center thereof, and a plurality of shim tray holding sections which hold a shim tray for a magnetic body.

A radio frequency coil unit includes a chassis which has a tubiform inner cylinder, a plurality of flanges arranged apart from each other, each of the plurality of flanges provided in a state of protruding outwards from the inner cylinder while in contact with a whole outer circumference surface of the inner cylinder, and a tubiform external cylinder in which each of the plurality of flanges is provided in a state of contacting an inner surface thereof, wherein the chassis forms a flow path of cooling air as a space surrounded by the inner cylinder, the plurality of flanges and the external cylinder, and a radio frequency coil which is mounted on the inner cylinder or the external cylinder to be positioned in the space surrounded by the inner cylinder, the plurality flanges and the external cylinder.
摘要:
The gantry of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a static magnetic field magnet, a gradient coil, a high-frequency coil, and a sealed vessel housing the gradient coil. The sealed vessel is made of a nonconductive material. Even if a gradient magnetic field is switched at high speed, no eddy current flows in the sealed vessel. Therefore, the sealed vessel does not vibrate.
