A coil pattern calculation method includes calculating a current potential at each contact between finite surface elements forming each of the coil surfaces based on an initial value of an input current potential distribution, and, for each of the coil surfaces, repeatedly calculating the current potential alternately and, under each magnetic field condition, determining a current potential distribution that generates a magnetic field falling within the range of allowable error for each target magnetic field so that a surface current represented by the current potential will become close to a target magnetic field distribution set for each of the finite surface elements; and determining a coil pattern from the contour lines of the determined current potential distribution.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is provided with a pair of static magnetic field uniformity controlling members 30A and 30B which are disposed adjacent to respective pair of magnetic plates 25A and 25B and of which cross sections configured so as to further enhance static magnetic field uniformity in static magnetic field region 21 and a pair of flat plate shaped eddy current suppressing members 29A and 29B which are disposed adjacent to respective pair of gradient magnetic field coils 28A and 28B and shield influences of gradient magnetic field generated by the gradient magnetic field coils 28A and 28B on the static magnetic field uniformity controlling members 30A and 30B of pole pieces. The eddy current suppressing members 29A and 29B are easily manufactured from a flat plate member simply by cutting the same while following the shape of the gradient magnetic field coils 28A and 28B. Further, with the provision of the eddy current suppressing members 29A and 29B influences due to eddy current and residual magnetism induced by the gradient magnetic field coils 28A and 28B on the static magnetic field uniformity controlling members 30A and 30B are suppressed and uniformity in the uniform static magnetic field region is enhanced.

Annular portions are arranged on mutually confronting surfaces at circumferential edge portions of low-temperature containers, the annular portions forming annular containing portions whose cross section is rectangular. Not only a side coil among a group of coils forming a collective coil body is disposed inside the containing portion, but also a gradient magnetic field unit, a radio-frequency transmission coil, and a reception coil are disposed inside a recessed portion so as to be integrated with one another into a single body, the recessed portion being formed so as to be surrounded by the corresponding annular portion. The side coil supplies more than half a designed magnetomotive force. Since a distance J of the mutually confronting low-temperature containers, i.e., the distance between the mutually confronting surfaces of the side coils can be reduced by a distance corresponding to the projection of the projected portions, not only the designed magnetomotive force can be reduced, but also the apparatus can be downsized and inexpensive.

A gradient coil apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging system includes a plurality of gradient coils 11a, 11b and 11c for applying a gradient magnetic field to a test object and an internal heat exchanger 14 to be immersed in insulation oil 13 in a container 12. A pump 16 is disposed to circulate coolant between the internal heat exchanger 14 and an external heat exchanger 15 is disposed outside of the container 12. This arrangement allows the insulation oil only inside of the container, thereby ensuring a substantial reduction in the amount of insulation oil.
摘要:
A magnet device provided with a shield current carrying means in which two sets of magneto-static field generating sources for generating magnetic fields directed towards a first direction are disposed facing each other across a finite region and at least one set of the magneto-static field generating sources are disclosed on at least two almost concentric circles. A first plane includes a first axis, a second axis and a first point. The first point is a point of insertion between the first axis parallel to the first direction and passing almost through the center of the shield current carrying means. The second axis crosses at right angles to the first axis and is spaced almost equal distance from the two sets of the generating sources. The alternately arranged positive and negative current carrying directions of the shield current carrying means are set in the order of increasing value of θn.
