    摘要: A method and apparatus for actively controlling quench protection of a superconducting magnet includes a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system and a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to detect a quench condition of the superconducting magnet. The instructions also cause the computer to actively control a quench protection system of the superconducting magnet in response to the detected quench condition.

    摘要: A correction coil current adjustment circuit for a superconducting magnet to selectively switch various coils in circuit with a power source to provide the desired superconducting current flow and magnetic field homogeneity for magnetic resonance imaging eliminating the need for some of the mechanical leads which extend from the exterior of the magnet to the interior of the cryogen vessel minimizing thermal leak paths and including simplified switching of the various main and correction magnet coils to provide the desired current flow. Inductive coupling from outside the magnet to induce correction coil current flow eliminates additional mechanical leads.

    摘要: A superconducting magnet includes at least one superconducting coil and a quench protection circuit electrically coupled to said at least one coil in parallel. The circuit includes at least one quench heater assembly thermally coupled to the at least one coil, and at least one superconducting current limiter electrically connected in series with the at least one quench heater assembly. The superconducting current limiter has a superconducting state with zero resistance, and a normal state with a normal resistance to decrease an electric current flowing through the quench heater assembly.
