  • Publication number: 20230086830
    Abstract: A gradient coil assembly for a magnetic resonance imaging device is disclosed. The gradient coil assembly comprises a cylindrical carrier with conductors forming three gradient coils associated with three orthogonal physical gradient axes. The cylindrical carrier comprises at least two radial through openings at different angular positions. At least one of the conductors runs through at least one area of the carrier located circumferentially between the through openings.

  • Patent number: 9638775
    Abstract: A connecting device for a magnetic system of an imaging system includes a holding element for connection of the connecting device to a power supply connection of the magnetic system, and a connecting element for connection of the connecting device to a power supply cable for operation of the magnetic system. The connecting device also includes an oscillation damping device having a spring element. The oscillation damping device is operable to dampen oscillations of the magnetic system that act on the connecting device by way of the holding element, with respect to the connecting element.

  • Patent number: 8008916
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance apparatus has a cylindrical gradient coil with an x-gradient coil and a y-gradient coil that are asymmetrical relative to the z-direction of a coordinate system, the z-direction extending along a longitudinal direction of a patient receptacle. Shim coils are provided that generate magnetic fields to homogenize the basic magnetic field, produced by a cylindrical basic field magnet, in an examination volume in the patient receptacle. At least some of the shim coils are asymmetrical relative to the z-direction to minimize coupling induction between the asymmetrical x-gradient coil and y-gradient coil and the asymmetrical shim coils.

  • Patent number: 7250765
    Abstract: Magnetic resonance device with an assembly having a recess, in which a gradient coil unit is attached with at least one attachment means, the attachment means having two members, between which an elastic element is disposed, only one of the members in each instance being in contact with either the gradient coil unit or the assembly, with the attachment means acting as an attachment means having no elastic element in a first attachment state, in which at least a minimum force presses the two members together, in that the two members have stop surfaces, which are in contact with each other due to the minimum force acting on the members compressed elastic element and with the attachment means acting as a spring unit in a second fixing state, in that the elastic element pushes the members apart in the event of forces smaller than the minimum force and causes the attachment means to be fixed in relation to the gradient coil unit and the assembly.
