Designs for an asymmetric gradient set and a compact superconducting magnet for neural magnetic resonance imaging.

Author(s) : CROZIER S., LUESCHER K., HINDS G., et al.

Type of article: Article

Summary

In this article, the authors present the design of a compact, superconducting MRI magnet for head and neck imaging that is less than 0.8 m in length and discuss in detail the design of an asymmetric gradient coil set, tailored to the magnet profile. In particular, the introduction of a radio-frequency FM modulation scheme in concert with a gradient sequence allows the epoch of the linear region of the gradient structure than was previously possible. Images from a prototype gradient set demonstrate the effectiveness of the designs.
