摘要: The disclosure relates to a detector unit comprising a radio frequency antenna unit and a gradient coil unit surrounding the radio frequency antenna unit concentrically, each embodied as hollow cylinders surrounding a cylinder axis in the longitudinal direction. The detector unit comprises at least four shim units, which are embodied as oblong shapes and are each arranged in parallel to the cylinder axis at various positions in the circumferential direction on a first inner surface, with said first inner surface corresponding to the side of the gradient coil unit facing towards the cylinder axis, and forming raised areas in the direction of the cylinder axis . The detector unit comprises a fixing unit embodied for fixing the at least four shim units to the gradient coil unit, and an RF screen, which is arranged at least partly between the radio frequency antenna unit and the gradient coil unit.

摘要: A method of producing a permanent magnet shim configured to improve a profile of a B0 magnetic field produced by a B0 magnet is provided. The method comprises determining deviation of the B0 magnetic field from a desired B0 magnetic field, determining a magnetic pattern that, when applied to magnetic material, produces a corrective magnetic field that corrects for at least some of the determined deviation, and applying the magnetic pattern to the magnetic material to produce the permanent magnet shim. According to some aspects, a permanent magnet shim for improving a profile of a B0 magnetic field produced by a B0 magnet is provided. The permanent magnet shim comprises magnetic material having a predetermined magnetic pattern applied thereto that produces a corrective magnetic field to improve the profile of the B0 magnetic field.

摘要: A magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus comprises magnet means for generating a main magnetic field in a sample region, encoding means for generating encoding magnetic fields superimposed to the main magnetic field, RF transmitter means for generating MR radiofrequency fields, driver means for operating said encoding means and RF transmitter means to generate superimposed time dependent encoding fields and radiofrequency fields according to an MR sequence for forming images or spectra; and acquisition means for acquiring an MR signal from said object. The magnet means comprise a primary magnetic field source providing a static magnetic field B0 and at least one secondary magnetic field source providing an adjustable magnetic field B′. To provide improved shimming, the secondary magnetic field source comprises at least two spatially distinct portions of a first magnetic material and of a second magnetic material, respectively, said first magnetic material having a first magnetic moment density m1 and said second magnetic material having a second magnetic moment density m2, and means for independently adjusting said second magnetic moment density m2 by variation of an external control parameter.

摘要: A fastening device for releasably fastening a probe (1) to an NMR magnet (2). An insert part (3) fastens the probe to a retaining system (4) connected to the magnet. A force-variable connection is established by the insert part with spring elements (8). The probe fastens to the insert part with rigid retaining elements (6). When closed, a connection without mechanical play exists between the insert part and the retaining elements when the spring elements are under tension. An annular disc-shaped pretensioning element (9) is arranged between the insert part and the retaining system. By rotating the pretensioning element relative to the insert part, the pretensioning element presses on and pretensions the spring elements. When open, the spring elements and the retaining elements are configured to connect with a mechanical play of 0.5 to 5 mm between the insert part and the retaining elements when the spring elements are pretensioned.

摘要: A magnetic resonance apparatus may include at least one sensor and a controller. The magnetic resonance apparatus is positionable in an examination room. A spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus in the examination room can be determined using the sensor. In a method for supporting an adjustment of a shim parameter of a magnetic resonance apparatus, a current spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus in an examination room is determined using the sensor, and a shim parameter of at least one shim element of the magnetic resonance apparatus is determined based on the current spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus and information of a magnetic field database. The magnetic field database may include information about a spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus and also magnetic field data correlated with the spatial location.

摘要: A shim tray (10) for a main magnet system of a magnetic resonance examination system comprises a plurality of shim pockets (11), of which an individual shim pocket has side walls (21, 42) forming an open channel (11). Two opposite lateral side walls (21) have insertion profiles (22) to receive an end shim-element (13) at least one open channel's end. Essentially the entire volume of the channel of the shim pocket is available to hold passive shim elements.
