摘要:
A magnetic-resonance imaging apparatus has superconducting magnets for generating a large uniform magnetic field within a predetermined volume. Within that volume, coils for generating magnetic field gradients are supported on a bobbin, enabling an object within the bobbin to be investigated. The coils on the bobbin are subject to forces but are rigidly connected to the bobbin. Therefore, energy is transmitted to the bobbin which can cause the bobbin to vibrate and so generate noise. To dissipate that energy, the coils are attached to tubes, or other hollow members, on the bobbin, which tubes or hollow members contain movable bodies such as particulate material. The energy due to the forces on the coils cause the movable bodies to move and collide, so dissipating the energy and reducing the noise.

A superconducting magnet apparatus which includes a cryostat vessel for containing therein a coolant for realizing superconductivity, a magnetic flux generating unit disposed within the cryostat vessel and including a superconducting multilayer composite member constituting a sustaining medium for a persistent current which generates a magnetic flux along a center axis of a predetermined magnetic field space, and members holding the magnetic field generating unit within the cryostat vessel.
摘要:
A superconducting magnet apparatus. By forming one or more holes in each of platelike ferromagnetic substances forming a magnetic shield for focusing the magnetic flux generated by superconducting coils, the flow of lines of magnetic flux is adjusted. Thereby, a static magnetic field in a measurement space is corrected. By disposing coupling tubes for supporting two cooling vessels housing superconducting coils on the rear side with respect to a central axis (Z axis) of the measurement space of the vertical direction, access to the subject is facilitated. In addition, the magnetic shield has an opening portion wider than the superconducting magnet on its side face. After the magnetic shield has been assembled, the superconducting magnet can be inserted from the opening portion.
