摘要： A magnet system, having permanently installed power leads, for providing a magnetic field. The system includes a vacuum vessel and a cryogenic containment vessel supported within the vacuum vessel. The containment vessel holds a main coil formed of superconductive wire, along with a quantity of liquid helium to maintain the wire below its critical temperature. The power leads, which supply energy to the coil from a power supply outside the vacuum vessel, also take energy from the coil to a load resistor outside the vacuum vessel when the coil is discharged, each include an elongate metallic tube. The magnet system also includes a solenoid controlled valve which is responsive to the passage of electric current through the tubes of the power leads to cause helium gas resulting from the boiling of liquid helium in the containment vessel to be vented to atmosphere through the tube thereby cooling them.

摘要： A magnet system for providing a localized, substantially homogeneous field for use in medical magnetic resonance imaging and its incorporation into a method of siting. The magnet system includes a vacuum vessel defining a bore for receiving the subject of the imaging and having a first end and a second end. A cryogenic containment vessel is supported within the vacuum vessel and a single coil is disposed within the containment vessel for providing the magnetic field. The magnetic system also includes a shield assembly of ferromagnetic material positioned closely adjacent the outside of the vacuum vessel and including first and second end assemblies and a plurality of axially extending beam-like members interconnecting the end assemblies. The coil comprises a winding made up of thousands of turns of small superconductive wire and which is configured to compensate for the effect of the presence of the shield to provide the substantially homogeneous field at a predetermined location in the bore. The components of the shield assembly are adapted for mounting to said vacuum vessel after siting. This permits simplified siting of the magnet system in that the vacuum vessel with the components inside of it can be sited first and the components of the shield assembly thereafter mounted on the vacuum vessel. A method of manufacturing the magnet system is also disclosed.

摘要： A magnet system for use in magnetic resonance imaging. The system includes a vacuum vessel having a first wall assembly defining a bore for receiving the subject of the imaging and a pair of spaced metallic end plates welded to the ends of the first wall assembly. The system further includes a cryogenic containment vessel supported within the vacuum vessel and a coil disposed within the containment vessel for providing the magnetic field. The first wall assembly includes a weldable metallic cylindrical shell positioned intermediate the end plates and having a thickness insufficient without reinforcement to provide structural integrity during operation of the vacuum vessel. This first wall assembly further includes a reinforcement layer of a non-metallic material disposed about the metallic shell so that signals provided by gradient coils disposed inside the bore can more quickly penetrate the first wall assembly than if the metallic shell had sufficient thickness, without reinforcement to provide the necessary structural integrity.

摘要： A cryogenic containment vessel for use with a pulsed superconducting magnet system includes a superconducting coil positioned within the cryogenic containment vessel for providing a magnetic field. The containment vessel includes a relatively thin metallic inner tube for holding liquid helium and the coil. The containment vessel also includes a relatively thick outer tube encompassing the inner tube with a relatively rigid insulative spacer positioned between the inner and outer tubes so that the tubes are not in contact with each other. The outer tube is predominantly metallic and has at least one joint formed of insulative material to prevent the outer tube from forming a low electrical resistance loop. The inner tube provides a vacuum seal and the outer tube provides structural support for the inner tube so that eddy current losses resulting from ramping of the current to the coil are reduced. A method of fabricating the containment vessel is also disclosed.

摘要： A refrigeration system includes a dewar and a refrigerator/liquefier which meets the variable demands of a superconducting magnet within the dewar. The system is sized to meet average loads over a defined duty cycle, and is variably operable to meed demands. In the preferred embodiment, a first supply of fluid circulates through a "condenser" element positioned in a dewar ullage to liquefy a separate supply of fluid in the dewar, and to refrigerate a pulsed cryogenic load therein, such as a superconducting magnet. A portion of the first supply of fluid may be diverted to refrigerate a second pulsed cryogenic load, such as magnet current leads permanently connected to the magnet. The dewar includes a cold gas vapor storage chamber separate from the dewar ullage, and the chamber is preferably located within the inner core of a solenoid superconducting magnet for compact and thermally efficient design. Responsive, independent adjustment of refrigeration to pulsed cryogenic loads is made possible.

摘要： A magnet system for providing a localized, substantially homogeneous magnetic field for use in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. The magnet system includes a vacuum vessel defining a bore for receiving the subject of the imaging. It further includes a cryogenic containment vessel supported within the vacuum vessel. A single coil or "simple" solenoid is positioned within the containment vessel for providing the magnetic field. This coil includes a winding made up of thousands of turns of small superconductive wire, with the winding having a modular geometry including a plurality of axially spaced wire modules. The coil further includes an insulative substance, having a greater coefficient of thermal contraction than that of the wire, distributed in the winding. As the temperature of the coil is reduced from room temperature to its cryogenic operating temperature, the development of localized stress concentrations of sufficient magnitude to rupture the wire, are avoided. A method of winding the coil is also disclosed.
