摘要： An intelligent control system (S) and methods (M, M1, M2) for dynamically controlling components of an MRI system (10), the intelligent control system (S) involving a processor (700), configurable to: determine a current-use state of each component; optimize energy usage among the components based on the current-use state of each component, whereby an optimal energy usage is provided; alter an energy consumption profile of each component based on the optimal energy usage, whereby an altered energy consumption for each component is provided; automatically activate power to each component based on the altered energy consumption when the MRI system (10) is to be operated; and automatically deactivate power to each component based on the altered energy consumption when the MRI system (10) is not to be operated, whereby the MRI system (10) is automatically operable when needed and inoperable when not needed, continually powering the components is eliminated, and an average energy consumption of the MRI system (10) is reduced over its lifespan.

摘要： An asymmetric electromagnet system, method, and method of producing an asymmetric electromagnet system, wherein the asymmetric electromagnet system is for generating an imaging magnetic field in an imaging region with an imaging isocentre, the imaging region being asymmetrically positioned within a gradient coil bore inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system during imaging, the electromagnet assembly comprising: an asymmetric gradient coil configured to generate a gradient field in the asymmetrically positioned imaging region, at least one gradient axis having the gradient field with a constant offset component such that the position at which the gradient field passes through zero is offset with respect to the imaging isocentre of the asymmetrically positioned imaging region.
