摘要: A superconducting magnet includes superconducting magnet coils (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, S1, S2) disposed inside a magnet cryostat (12). The superconducting magnet coils generate a static (B0) magnetic field when an electric current flows in the superconducting magnet coils. A superconducting B0 compensation circuit (30, 60, 70) is also disposed inside the magnet cryostat, and is coupled with the superconducting magnet coils to passively reduce temporal variations in the B0 magnetic field generated by the superconducting magnet coils. An electric current sensor (40) is also disposed inside the magnet cryostat and is connected to measure electric current flowing in the superconducting B0 compensation circuit. An active B0 compensation component (50) is operatively connected with the electric current sensor to receive the measurement of electric current flowing in the superconducting B0 compensation circuit and to provide active B0 magnetic field compensation based on the measured electric current.

摘要: To enable improved magnetic resonance imaging in the vicinity of an interference object that produces a magnetic interference field in an examination region, in a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging of the examination region magnetic resonance raw data are acquired from the examination region by execution of a magnetic resonance sequence having multiple repetition intervals and refocusing of spins in the examination region at the end of each repetition interval repetition intervals. During at least part of the duration of the acquisition of the magnetic resonance raw data, a magnetic compensation gradient is activated that is opposed to the magnetic interference field.

摘要: A method of determining an actual gradient impulse response function during execution of a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or spectroscopy sequence, wherein a main magnetic field is generated in a sample region of an MR apparatus by means of a main magnet and wherein superimposed time dependent gradient fields and radiofrequency fields in a first RF band are generated in the sample region according to a first MR sequence for forming images or spectra, the gradient fields being generated by gradient forming means of the MR apparatus operated according to a gradient forming sequence part of said first MR sequence, the MR apparatus further comprising at least one magnetic field probe. The method comprises the steps of: —operating said at least one magnetic field probe according to a second sequence, whereby a time dependent probe signal is repeatedly acquired from each magnetic field probe during a probe acquisition time window, thus providing at least one time dependent probe signal; —obtaining said actual gradient impulse response function by calculating an impulse response function from said at least one time dependent probe signal and from said gradient forming sequence part.
