  • LIQUID DIELECTRIC GRADIENT COIL SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20100244837
    Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging systems having gradient coil assemblies employing a liquid dielectric medium are provided. In one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging system includes a gradient coil assembly with a plurality of gradient coils. In the gradient coil assembly, at least two of the gradient coils are electrically separated from one another by a fluid medium.

  • Particle doped magnetic coil
    Patent number: 7190170
    Abstract: A system and method for decreasing partial discharge between adjacent conductive plates includes suspending a plurality of particles in the space between adjacent plates of a magnetic coil. The plurality of particles are generally uniformly dispersed in the space and allow for increased partial discharge inception voltages. Such a construction allows the coil to operate at elevated driving voltages with reduced partial discharge between adjacent plates.
