    摘要: Methods of designing an active shield for substantially zeroing an electro-magnetic field on one side of a predetermined boundary in open magnetic resonance imaging systems and in open electric systems are provided. The methods include defining a finite length geometry for a primary structure which, in the case of zeroing a magnetic field, carries a first current distribution on its surface. A finite length geometry is also defined for a secondary structure which, in the case of zeroing a magnetic field, carries a second current distribution on its surface. In the case of zeroing an electric field, the current distributions are replaced with charge distributions. A total magnetic or electric field resulting from a combination of the first and second current or charge distributions respectively is constrained such that normal components (in the magnetic field case) or tangential components (in the electric field case) thereof substantially vanish at the surface of one of the primary and secondary structures. The first current or charge distribution is constrained to the surface of the primary structure, and the second current or charge distribution is constrained to the surface of the secondary structure. The first and second current or charge distributions are then calculated concurrently allowing both the first and second current or charge distributions to vary while observing the constraints such that a predetermined magnetic or electric field is achieved in a first region and a magnetic or electric field on one side of a predetermined boundary is substantially zeroed.

    摘要: A localized coil (30) is disposed in the temporally constant magnetic field of a magnetic resonance imaging system. The localized coil is designed in five steps: a static problem formulation step, a static current solution step, a discretization step, a current loop connection step, and a high frequency solution step. One radio frequency coil designed by this process to be carried on a circularly cylindrical former includes two coil sections (60, 62) disposed on opposite sides of the dielectric former. Each of the two coil sections includes a pair of inner loops (64.sub.1, 64.sub.2) disposed symmetrically relative to a z=0 plane of symmetry and a second pair of loops (68.sub.1, 68.sub.2) also disposed symmetrically about the plane of symmetry. To raise self-resonance frequency, the inner and outer loops are connected in parallel. The resonance frequency is fine-tuned with reactive elements (66.sub.1, 66.sub.2). To ensure balanced current flow between the two coil portions, the two portions are connected (78) in parallel.

    摘要: A crossed-ladder RF coil assembly (48) is employed for quadrature excitation and/or reception in an open or vertical field magnetic resonance apparatus. The RF coil assembly (48, 70, 90) includes a pair of coil assemblies (50, 52; 70, 72; 100, 102) which are disposed in a parallel relationship. Coil arrays (50, 52; 100, 102) include at least two ladder RF coils (501, 502, 503; 521, 522, 523; 1001 . . . , 1008; 1021, . . . , 1028) which are disposed in an overlapping relationship and are rotated by 90° relative to one another. Each ladder RF coil of one coil array is rotated by 90° relative to adjoining ladder coils and each corresponding ladder RF coil of the other coil array. The crossed-ladder RF coil assembly provides better B1 field uniformity and elongated anatomical coverage for spine and neck imaging. In addition, the RF coil assembly reduces noise from the body at higher fields in vertical field magnetic resonance systems.

    摘要: A magnetic imaging apparatus generates a main magnetic field longitudinally through an image region and excites magnetic resonance in selected nuclei in a patient or subject disposed in the image area. The resonating nuclei generate radio frequency magnetic resonance signals which are received by a quadrature highpass ladder surface coil (D). The highpass ladder coil includes a central leg 34 having a capacitive element Cv disposed symmetrically about a midpoint 44. A like number of additional legs 30, 32, 36, 38 are disposed parallel to and symmetrically on opposite side of the central leg. Side elements 40, 42 include capacitive elements CA which interconnect adjacent ends of each of the legs. The capacitive elements are disposed symmetrically about the midpoint 44 and are selected such that the coil supports at least two intrinsic resonant modes including an odd mode 50 and an even mode 52. The even mode is sensitive to fields in the plane of the coil and the odd mode is sensitive to fields in a plane orthogonal to the coil.
