摘要： In the magnetic resonance imaging device, the distance between the first and second coils is different in the circumferential direction and has a first region (A1) (θ=0, π) and a second region (A2) (θ=π/2) narrower than the first region (A1). In the first coil, wiring patterns (17a, 17b) on the side of a zero-plane (F0) passing through the center of the first coil and perpendicular to the axis direction (z-axis direction) meander in the circumferential direction such that the wiring patterns (17a, 17b) depart from the zero-plane (F0) in the first region (A1) and approach the zero-plane (F0) in the second region (A2). This provides a gradient magnetic field coil capable of configuring wiring patterns without using a loop coil that does not pass through the z-axis.

摘要： The gradient coil for a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is adapted to encode information on a spatial position of a subject to be inspected into a nuclear magnetic resonance signal. The gradient coil includes a primary gradient coil and a shielded gradient coil. The primary gradient coil generates a gradient magnetic field in the imaging area. The shielded gradient coil is located on the side opposite to the imaging area relative to the primary gradient coil and cancels the gradient magnetic field generated by the primary magnetic field. The shielded gradient coil has a first area including a central axis perpendicularly extending through the central portion of the imaging area and a second area located on the side of the outer circumference of the first area. The second area is more inclined toward the imaging area than the first area.

摘要： A gradient coil device includes a major axis gradient coil, having an ellipse in a cross section generating a gradient magnetic field inclined in a major axis direction of the ellipse at a magnetic field space; and a minor axis gradient coil, having an ellipse in a cross section generating a gradient magnetic field inclined in a minor axis direction of the ellipse at the magnetic field space. A length of the minor axis field coil in the center axis direction is shorter than a length of the major axis gradient coil in the center axis direction. A maximum value of a residual magnetic field generated by the minor axis gradient coil at a space outside the magnetic field space is equal to or smaller than a maximum value of a residual magnetic field generated by the major axis gradient coil at a space outside the magnetic field space.
