摘要: A method of reducing slice profile degradation due to gradient signal amplitude ripple, has steps of: sensing the gradient signal ripple amplitude; normalizing the sensed ripple signal amplitude responsive to the gradient amplitude commanded; and modulating the RF signal amplitude with the adjusted-amplitude ripple signal, to cause the RF and gradient magnetic fields to have an effective vector pointing substantially in the same direction, during the slice-selection interval, as would the effective field vector formed with a gradient field devoid of ripple. Apparatus for reducing the slice profile degradation modulates the RF signal with the ripple envelope obtained from the output of the gradient signal amplifier, by a signal controlled by the gradient amplifier input.

摘要: A gradient current speed-up circuit, for use in a higher-speed NMR imaging system with a gradient power amplifier and an associated gradient coil, has an energy-storage element, with an inductance typically between 5 and 20 times the inductance of the associated gradient coil. A plurality of semiconductor switching elements receive the current output of the energy-storage element; and the associated gradient coil is connected between selected ones of these semiconductors devices. The semiconductor devices are turned on and off in selected patterns, to cause the energy-storage element current to be suddenly applied to and removed from flow through the associated gradient coil.
