  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HEAT MANAGEMENT IN A MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170192067
    Abstract: A radio frequency coil includes a body having an inner wall and an outer wall opposite the inner wall. The body is configured to fit over an imaging bore of a magnetic resonance imaging system such that the inner wall is closer to the imaging bore than the outer wall. The body may have a cooling duct embedded in the body between the inner wall and the outer wall and configured to direct a coolant to at least one assembly component disposed in the magnetic resonance imaging system. The cooling duct may be formed by the body. A phase change material may be disposed on the body or embedded in the body between the inner wall and the outer wall. The phase change material may be configured to absorb heat emitted by at least one assembly component of the magnetic resonance imaging system.
