The process to produce an MR image includes nuclear alignment, RF excitation, spatial
encoding, and image formation. In simple terms, an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Abstract Ultra High Field (UHF) MRI requires improved gradient and shim performance to
fully realize the promised gains (SNR as well as spatial, spectral, diffusion resolution) that …

Translational motion in solution, either diffusion or fluid flow, is at the heart of chemical and
biochemical reactivity. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) provides a powerful non …

This paper presents a new approach for the design of genuinely finite-length shim and
gradient coils, intended for use in magnetic resonance imaging equipment. A cylindrical …

This article presents a design method of cylindrical uniform field coil based on quasi-elliptic
function fitting (EFF) method with multiple optimizations. The EFF method is a type of …

High-performance gradient coils are always needed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
systems. However, conventional target-field methods for coil design have drawbacks such …

Prior theoretical studies indicate that the negative spatial derivative of the electric field
induced by magnetic stimulation may be one of the main factors contributing to …

A gradient coil design algorithm capable of controlling the position of the homogeneous
region of interest (ROI) with respect to the current‐carrying wires is required for many …

In magnetic resonance imaging, the stream function based method is commonly used in the
design of gradient coils. However, this method can be prone to errors associated with the …

Publisher Summary There is a tremendous increase in the use of both magnetic (B 0), and to
a lesser extent, radiofrequency (rf or B 1) field gradients in nuclear magnetic resonance …
