    摘要: On the basis of the magnetic field intensity distribution of a magnetic field space (3), in order to homogenize the distribution, the positions and the volumes of magnetic material shims (such as shim bolts (27)) which have to be arranged on shim trays (17, 18) are first computed on a minute computational grid. Subsequently, from the distributions of the computed positions and volumes of the magnetic material shims, the local maximum values and local minimum values thereof are extracted, and the distribution areas of the volumes of the magnetic material shims with each value as the center are extracted. Then, the volumes of the magnetic materials distributed in the distribution areas are added. Finally, the results of the addition are displayed with the positions of corresponding local maximum values or the positions of corresponding local minimum values.

    摘要: A magnet device has main coils in a pair positioned facing each other to form a static magnetic field space in between and external magnetic flux shielding coils placed coaxially to the main coils. The external magnetic flux shielding coils have a first coil group having a small coefficient of coil coupling and a second coil group having a coefficient of coil coupling greater than that of the first coil group. The first coil group is connected in series to the second coil group. External magnetic flux entering the magnetic field imaging space formed by main coils in a pair positioned facing each other is effectively warded off.

    摘要: A measured error magnetic field distribution is divided into eigen-mode components obtained by a singular decomposition and iron piece arrangements corresponding to respective modes are combined and arranged on a shim-tray. An eigen-mode to be corrected is selected in accordance with an attainable magnetic field accuracy (homogeneity) and appropriateness of arranged volume of the iron pieces. Because the adjustment can be made with the attainable magnetic field accuracy (homogeneity) being known, an erroneous adjustment can also be known, and the adjustment is automatically done during repeated adjustments. As a result, an apparatus with a high accuracy can be provided. In addition, there is an advantageous effect of being able to detect a poor magnet earlier by checking the attainable homogeneity.
