Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging superconducting magnet for animal imaging. The superconducting magnet is composed of superconducting main coils (2), superconducting axial shielding coils (3) and a superconducting radial shielding coil (4), wherein all the coils are axisymmetric solenoid coils using a symmetric axis (8) as a center axis. The superconducting main coils (2) are three pairs of solenoid coils with forward current, and the superconducting axial shielding coils (3) are a pair of solenoid coils with reverse current. The superconducting main coils (2) and the superconducting axial shielding coils (3) are positively symmetrically arranged about a symmetry plane (9). The superconducting radial shielding coil (4) is a solenoid coil with the reverse current, and the middle plane of the superconducting radial shielding coil is overlapped with the symmetry plane (9). The superconducting magnet generates highly-uniform magnetic field distribution at three concentric spherical areas (5, 6 and 7) with the diameters respectively being 80mm, 150mm and 200mm, and five Gaussian stray fields are respectively limited within the range of 1.5m and 2.2m ellipsoids in a radial direction and an axial direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging superconducting magnet. Background technique [0002] A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) superconducting magnet system generally consists of superconducting magnets, room temperature shim coils, gradient coils, radio frequency coils, cryogenic containers, refrigerators, magnetic field measurement systems, and computers. Among them, the superconducting magnet is the most expensive core component in the MRI system. Its function is mainly to generate a highly uniform magnetic field distribution in a central area, which is generally spherical in shape. MRI generally needs to constrain the stray field range of 5 gauss. The confinement methods include passive shielding and active shielding technology. Passive shielding technology refers to the arrangement of magnetic iron sheets in the wall of the room where the MRI system is placed to form a magnetic flux loop, so that The spatial range of the 5 Gauss s...
