摘要： A shim coil design technique determines a position and a geometry of a room temperature (RT) shim coil to provide both a desired field homogeneity and a desired B0 field setting time. The simultaneous satisfaction of both field homogeneity and field settling time is achieved without a reduction of flux leakage from the shim coil, modification of main magnet protection circuitry, and without necessarily decoupling of the shim coil from the overall main magnet.

摘要： A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system is disclosed. The MRI system includes a cryogenic magnet assembly with a cryogenic vessel housing a superconducting magnet. Disposed radially inboard of the cryogenic magnet assembly are a gradient coil module and a plurality of room temperature steel rings proximate to the gradient coil module. A field of view is defined by at least the superconducting magnet, the gradient coil module, and the plurality of room temperature steel rings. In response to the superconducting magnet being energized, the room temperature steel rings create high order harmonics that serve to expand the magnetic field homogeneity FOV, and low order harmonics that tend to degrade the magnetic field homogeneity within the FOV. The low order harmonics are compensated for by the cryogenic magnet assembly.
