Abstract

In a magnetic resonance scanner, a main magnet system (10) is wound to generate a longitudinally directed main magnetic field (B0) at least in a scanning region (20). The main magnet system includes a central magnet winding region (30) wound layer-by-layer disposed between outer magnet winding regions (32, 34). A longitudinal magnetic field gradient system (12, 12') includes a central gradient winding region (40, 40', 42, 42') wound to generate a main longitudinally directed magnetic field gradient disposed between outer gradient winding regions (44, 46) wound to generate a compensatory longitudinally directed magnetic field gradient having opposite polarity from the main longitudinally directed magnetic field gradient. The outer gradient winding regions are arranged to substantially null mutual inductance between the outer magnet winding regions (32, 34) and the longitudinal magnetic field gradient system (12, 12').

Description

technical field [0001] The following relates to the field of magnetic resonance. It has particular applicability to magnetic resonance imaging and is described with specific cited applications. More generally, however, it is also applicable to magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance mapping, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, etc. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the size and cost of the magnetic resonance scanner, it is advantageous to place the windings of the gradient coils close to the windings of the main magnet, usually with a slightly smaller radius than the main magnet windings. However, this arrangement is difficult to include shielding for the gradient coils. [0003] In the absence of shielding, it is generally found that there is considerable electromagnetic coupling between the longitudinal or z-gradient coils and the main magnet of the aperture scanner. For example, the inventors have estimated that the longitudinal magnetic field gradie...
