Curved gradient coil designs for anatomically specific imaging applications
Introduction A powerful, all-purpose method has been developed over the past several years that allows for gradient design of virtually arbitrary geometry [1,2]. We have implemented this boundary element (BE) method following the particular approach of Poole and Bowtell [1]. In the current study, this method has been used to design and analyze the performance of curved gradient coil geometries ...
متن کاملA Divergence-free Bem to Model Quasi-static Currents: Application to Mri Coil Design
The modeling of quasi-static optimization problems often involves divergence-free surface current densities. In this paper, a novel technique to implement these currents by using the boundary element method framework is presented. A locally-based characterization of the current density is employed, to render a fully geometry-independent formulation, so that it can be applied to arbitrary shapes...
متن کاملTransient eddy current simulation of a uni-planar gradient set
Introduction: Local gradients enable increased gradient strength and faster slew rates, which are both highly desirable to enable high-resolution and fast, real-time imaging(1). The planar gradient set presented in (2) illustrates one such gradient system, where all three gradient axes are incorporated into a uni-planar gradient set that is positioned within the magnet bore. Planar gradients pr...
متن کاملCool Gradient Coils Designed with Adaptive Regularisation
Introduction Gradient coils can produce large amounts of heat when carrying hundreds of Ampères of current. The amount of current and duty cycle, the cooling efficiency and the winding pattern of gradient coils dictate the temperature of the coil. Excessive heating is known in some rare cases to cause failure of the gradients and elevated temperatures within the scanner [1] as well as thermal d...
متن کاملComplete Design Equation for Gradient Coil Design Using Loop-Current Elements
INTRODUCTION We have previously proposed a gradient coil design method using loop currents with some preliminary results [I]. The purpose of this paper is to complete the design equation of the gradient coil design using loop-current elements. The advantages of the proposed method are: (1) Ability for either the minimum-inductance or the minimum-power design or even for a combined, weighted min...
