  • Compact gradient coil assembly for MRI apparatus
    Patent number: 6525536
    Abstract: A cylindrical magnet assembly for use in magnetic resonance imaging apparatus has a radially compact construction which eliminates prior manufacturing steps. Recesses are formed in insulation layers for receiving complimentary shaped bus bars. Because the bus bars are dimensioned to fit flush within the recesses, they do not add to the radial growth of the magnet assembly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2001
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2003
    Assignee: Intermagnetics General Corporation
