    摘要: A superconducting magnet is accessible for ramping within a cryostat by inserting flexible current leads through openings in the cryostat and pushing and twisting these leads inward until connections are made with electrical contacts provided on the superconducting magnet. For each current lead, a permanently installed channel guides the lead as it is pushed through the external opening and extends to make contact with the magnet terminal. The guide channel extends outside of the cryostat and includes an internal or external bend, whereby the overhead space required for the cryostat/magnet assembly may be reduced. After ramping, the leads are withdrawn.

    摘要: A magnetic suspension system and a procedure for operating the system employ a superconducting magnet having a lift coil assembly for developing a magnetic field to interact with the magnetic field of an object to be supported about the superconducting magnet. Smaller and larger magnet coils are provided in the superconducting magnet with counter rotating flow of current to introduce a depression in a potential energy surface above the superconducting magnet, this allowing the object to seek a height at the depression for stably locating the object. The system and methodology employs a set of control coils which are energized to orient and to translate the object to maintain a desired position and orientation. Pairs of the control coils are energized to produce a tilting of the object, as in roll or pitch, or a displacement of the object relative to the vertical axis.

    摘要: A seat, a chair, or a combination thereof can be part of or used in conjunction with an MRI system. The seat can be designed to allow for an MRI analysis without requiring insertion of a probe into a cavity of a patient. In one embodiment, the seat and chair can be adapted for use with a cylindrical-type MRI system. The seat and chair may be used with another type of MRI system, such as an open MRI system. The pelvic region or adjacent portion of a patient can be analyzed without the patient having to lie flat.

    摘要: A cylindrical MRI system can be configured such that a patient does not have to be in a lying position during analysis. In a particular embodiment, the patient can sit during analysis. The cylindrical MRI system can be oriented such that a central axis is not parallel to the floor, and in one embodiment, is substantially perpendicular to the floor. In one embodiment, the cylindrical MRI system can be configured to allow an object to contact the patient when the patient is within the analyzing region, even when the primary magnet is at field. In another aspect, an MRI system can include a primary magnet and a gradient coil with different types of shapes. In still another aspect, an MRI system can include a gradient coil that includes a combination of portions having different shapes.

    摘要: A permanent magnet assembly having a central elliptical bore, suitable for reception of a patient in an MRI system, is formed of a plurality of elliptically shaped sections disposed along an axis of the bore. Each section is subdivided into a plurality of segments in which each segment is constructed of bricks of magnetic material. Each brick has the shape of a right parallel piped. In any one of the segments, all of the bricks are arranged parallel to a common plane which is parallel to the bore axis. The bricks are magnetized with magnetization vector oriented in a common direction perpendicular to the plane. Full bricks are employed throughout all of the segments with the exception of a plurality of bricks along a surface of the bore wherein truncation of one or more of the bricks may be required to attain a desired homogeneity to a dipole magnetic field within the field. Directions of magnetization of the various segments vary in a symmetrical pattern about the bore to attain the desired field within the bore while minimizing any magnetic field outside of the assembly. This reduces overall weight of the assembly, and reduces the manufacturing cost.

    摘要: A cylindrical magnet assembly for use in magnetic resonance imaging apparatus has a radially compact construction which eliminates prior manufacturing steps. Recesses are formed in insulation layers for receiving complimentary shaped bus bars. Because the bus bars are dimensioned to fit flush within the recesses, they do not add to the radial growth of the magnet assembly.

    摘要: A magnetic array for periodic magnetic devices is formed as a series of pole modules each constructed from rectangular components. Field strengths in excess of 2.0 T are achieved by surrounding each pole module on all available sides with magnet blocks. Less magnet material is used than in prior modules that produced equal field strengths and magnet material is more efficiently used by reducing the material scrap associated with manufacture of prior art pole and magnet designs.
