摘要： An examination region (12) is defined within the bore of a superconducting magnet assembly (10). An RF coil (22) and gradient magnetic field coils (14) are disposed within the bore of the superconducting magnet assembly around the examination region. The superconducting magnet includes a hollow, cylindrical vacuum vessel (40). An annular, liquid helium holding low temperature reservoir (60) extends centrally through the vacuum vessel, but is sealed therefrom such that liquid helium is not drawn into the vacuum. A plurality of annular superconducting magnets (56) are received in the low temperature reservoir immersed in the liquid helium. A first cold shield (44) and a second cold shield (50) are mounted in the vacuum vessel surrounding the low temperature reservoir. A main magnetic field shield coil (66) is disposed in the low temperature reservoir outside of the annular superconducting magnets for canceling the magnetic field generated by the annular magnets surrounding the magnet. A gradient shield coil (70) is mounted in low temperature reservoir inside the annular superconducting magnets to cancel magnetic fields generated by the gradient magnetic field coils in the region beyond the gradient shield coil. The gradient shield coil is electromagnetically coupled to the gradient field coils to be driven by magnetic fields emanating therefrom. Optionally, the gradient shield coil can be constructed of a higher temperature superconducting material and disposed in association with one of the cold shields.

摘要： The magnetic field assembly of a magnetic resonance imaging device includes an annular superconducting magnet (10) which is mounted within a toroidal vacuum vessel (24). A cylindrical member (26) defines a central bore through which the superconducting magnets generate a temporally constant primary magnetic field. A cylindrical, dielectric former (46) is mounted in the bore displaced a small distance from the cylindrical member. A radio frequency coil (32) is mounted within the cylindrical member defining a patient receiving examination region. An RF shield (34) is mounted around the exterior peripheral surface of the former. Primary gradient coils (40) are mounted around and potted to the exterior of the dielectric former around the RF shield. Gradient shield or secondary coils (44) are potted around an exterior of the cylindrical member within the vacuum chamber. As illustrated in FIG. 3 , when unshielded gradient coils are used, the primary gradient coils and the RF shield are mounted around the outer diameter of the cylindrical member (26).

摘要： An examination region (12) is defined within the bore of a superconducting magnet assembly (10). An RF coil (22) and gradient magnetic field coils (14) are disposed within the bore of the superconducting magnetic assembly around the examination region. The superconducting magnet includes a hollow, tubular vacuum vessel (40) which contains a plurality of annular superconducting magnets (58). These superconducting magnets are held in a liquid helium holding reservoir (60) such that they are held below their superconducting temperature. A first cold shield (44) and a second cold shield (50 ) have tubular portions between the superconducting magnets and the examination region. These cylindrical portions each include a cylinder (70) of a electrically insulating material such as reinforced plastic. Thermally conductive layers (72) are defined on each surface and are divided by etched slots or resistance portions (74) into a multiplicity of elongated narrow segments (92). The narrow segments are constructed of a thermally conductive material, such as copper or aluminum, that also happens to be electrically conductive. The division of the foil layer into a multiplicity of segments divides the generated eddy currents into a like multiplicity of substantially canceling eddy currents (82) increasing the eddy current path length, increasing the total electrical resistance encountered, and reducing the amplitude and time constant of the resultant net eddy current and eddy magnetic field.

摘要： A magnetic resonance imaging machine includes a toroidal vacuum dewer (24) which contains a superconducting magnet (10). A radio frequency coil (32) is mounted within a cylindrical bore (26) of the vacuum dewer. A cylindrical, dielectric former (46) supports an RF shield (34), a z-gradient coil (50), an x-gradient coil (52), and a y-gradient coil (54). The x and y-gradient coils are each composed of four like spiral coil constructions. A metallic layer is cut with cut lines (64) to define a generally spiral coil winding pattern. In a high current density region (68) in which the coil windings are narrower than a preselected width, the cut lines (76) are thinner. In lower current density regions (70), the cut lines (78) are thicker. In lower current density regions, two cut lines are defined between adjacent coil windings such that the coil windings are limited to a maximum width. Conductive islands (80) defined in the lower current density areas which are large enough to support detrimental eddy currents are preferably removed or at least modified such that their ability to support detrimental eddy currents is curtailed.

摘要： A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes a split magnet system having a pair of MRI magnet housings separated by gap. A pair of main MRI magnets are disposed within respective MRI magnet housings. A plurality of buttress assemblies are attached to the MRI magnet housings. Some or all of the buttress assemblies are provided with removable connections to the MRI magnet housings. This allows for partial disassembly of the MRI system for improved transport and maneuverability for relocating the MRI system. The MRI system can include a gantry in the gap for supporting a radiation therapy system. Also, the removably buttress assemblies can be used for housing conduits, such as electrical and fluid conduits, between the pair of MRI magnet housings.

摘要： An incomplete set of magnetic resonance image data is collected and stored in a view memory (40). The incomplete set of image data includes a central or first set of data values (42, 42') and a side or second set of data values (44, 44'). The central data set is operated on by a roll-off filter (64) and a Fourier transform (66) to create a normalized phase map (72). The first and second data sets are Fourier transformed (82) and phase corrected (86) by being multiplied with a complex conjugate (88) of the corresponding phase map data value. A third data set (46, 46') is generated (90) by determining the complex conjugate of the second or side data set. The third data set is Fourier transformed (94) and multiplied (98) by a corresponding value from the phase map to produce a second phase corrected image representation. The first and second phase corrected image representations are summed (100) and stored in a resultant image memory (102).

摘要： An incomplete set of magnetic resonance image data is collected and stored in a view memory (40). The incomplete set of image data includes a central or first set of data values (42, 42') and half of the remaining data values (44, 44'). A symmetric data set which fills the other remaining half (46, 46') of the data values is generated (90) by determining the complex conjugate of each value of the incomplete data set. The incomplete and symmetric data sets are Fourier transformed (64, 94) to create first and second images f.sub.1 (x,y) and f.sub.2 (x,y). The first and second images are multiplied (100, 104) by conjugately symmetric phase correction values e.sup.i.phi.(x,y) and e.sup.-i.phi.(x,y) from a phase correction memory (70) to produce phase corrected images. The first and second phase corrected image representations are summed (110) and displayed (114). The phase correction values .phi.(x,y) may be derived (68) from the first image or from a phase image (86) derived (80, 82, 84) from a central or other portion of the acquired incomplete image data set.
