摘要: A magnet system is provided for generating a homogeneous magnetic field in a target region that finds benefit in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), particularly NMR spectroscopy. The magnet system comprises a first magnet having a first solenoid formed from superconductor material and a set of one or more pairs of compensation coils, each said pair being disposed coaxially with the first solenoid and symmetrically positioned with an axial offset about the geometrical centre point so as to define an annular volume within the bore between the set of compensation coils. A first pair of compensation coils in the set is connected in electrical series with the first solenoid. A shim system is disposed within the annular volume and comprising one or more superconducting shim coils. The magnetic field in the target region has a homogeneity of less than 10 parts per million, wherein the target region is a 1 cm diameter spherical volume centred on the centre point.

摘要: A radio frequency coil assembly for an MRI system. A support structure extends between a first end and a second end in a first direction and between an inner surface and an opposite outer surface in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The support structure has channels that extend into the support structure in the second direction. An RF coil is configured to transmit and/or receive RF signals. The RF coil is supported by the outer surface of the support structure. The channels are at least partially positioned between the support structure and the RF coil in the first direction and are configured to convey a cooling medium to cool the support structure in use.

摘要: In a general aspect, a sample holder has multiple sample containers. In some instances, the sample holder can be received into a resonator package in a primary magnetic field of a magnetic resonance system. The resonator package includes a resonator configured to interact with a sample in a sample region. The sample holder includes a first sample and a calibration sample. The position of the sample holder relative to the resonator is calibrated. After calibrating the position of the sample holder, the sample holder is translated to position the first sample in the sample region. Magnetic resonance data is acquired based on magnetic resonance signals generated by an interaction between the resonator and the first sample.

摘要: Apparatus for imaging during surgical procedures includes an operating room for the surgical procedure and an MRI for obtaining images periodically through the surgical procedure by moving the magnet up to the table. The magnet wire is formed of a superconducting material such as magnesium di-boride or Niobium-Titanium which is cooled by a vacuum cryocooling system to superconductivity without use of liquid helium. The magnet weighs less than 1 to 2 tonne and has a floor area in the range 15 to 35 sq feet so that it can be carried on the floor by a support system having an air cushion covering the base area of the magnet having side skirts so as to spread the weight over the entire base area. The magnet remains in the room during surgery and is powered off to turn off the magnetic field when in the second position remote from the table.

摘要: An NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) detection module (such as an NMR probe) mounted in a vacuum vessel permits a transmit/receive coil to be cooled efficiently and to be placed closer to a sample container. The NMR detection module includes a core module (detection module) (54) consisting of a refrigerant block (118) and a transmit/receive coil formed on the inner surface of a detection hole (130). A sleeve (cylindrical partition wall) (122) forming a part of the vacuum vessel is inserted in the detection hole (130). A sample tube (56) is inserted in the sleeve (122). The refrigerant block (118) is connected to a heat exchanger via a support member (82). Since it is not necessary to form a bobbin inside the transmit/receive coil, the distance between the coil and the sample can be set small. The coil is entirely surrounded by the refrigerant block.
