Abstract

The invention discloses a gradient coil design method in a nuclear magnetic resonance system. The method comprises the following steps of: establishing a mathematical relation between a field expansion harmonic component and a cylindrical surface current distribution harmonic component under a spherical coordinate system based on a current distribution harmonic component coefficient capable of generating a specific target field through solving; combining the traditional harmonic method with a target field method; and introducing a simulated annealing algorithm to optimize and obtain the global optimum current distribution. The gradient coil design method can be used for designing a self-shielding gradient coil with cylindrical surface current distribution and optionally restraining the coil length, and ensures excellent linearity while the higher coil efficiency is achieved through comprehensively considering a plurality of design indexes. Since the gradient coil design method is optimized by utilizing a global search algorithm-simulated annealing algorithm, a global optimum design result is ensured. Meanwhile the position information of the actual distribution of a current lead is directly output by the design result, therefore, the engineering processing and manufacturing are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of superconductivity, in particular to a gradient coil design method in a nuclear magnetic resonance system. Background technique [0002] In an MRI system, the main magnet and a series of shim coils together generate a main magnetic field B that is highly uniform along the z direction 0 . In order to provide spatial information of MR images, it is necessary to add a gradient coil to generate a pulsed linear gradient field superimposed on the main magnetic field, so that the z component of the magnetic field in the imaging space (DSV) changes linearly in the x, y, and z directions, respectively. The strength of the gradient field can be described by the following formula: [0003] G x = ∂ B z ∂ x , G y ...
