operating MRI gradient coils but requires computationally demanding simulations of …

Purpose The rapid switching of the gradient fields induces eddy currents in neighboring
metallic structures, causing undesirable effects. Numerical computations are thus required to …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to measure gantry angle‐related eddy currents in a
0.35‐T MRI‐Linac and determine if B0 (zeroth order) eddy currents are the primary cause of …

Thermal motion of charge carriers in a conducting object causes magnetic field noise that
may interfere with sensitive measurements near the object. In this paper, we describe a …

MRI gradient coils are mainly designed using discrete wire techniques and continuous
current density methods. The width of the coil tracks is not usually included upfront in the coil …

Purpose Gradient strength and speed are limited by peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS)
thresholds. The coil array method allows the gradient field to be moved across the imaging …

In a planar, superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the gradient
assembly is placed into the groove of the SC magnet. Conventional gradient coil design …
