Patent number: 11193995Abstract: An electromagnet of an electromagnet assembly for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus. The electromagnet includes an annular coil that is configured to generate a magnetic field and has a first axially outer surface; a support element that is bonded to the first axially outer surface of the annular coil and is configured to mount the annular coil in the MRI apparatus; and a support structure comprising a pair of axially-directed support plates spaced apart from one another along a radial direction of the annular coil by a distance which is greater than a radial thickness of the annular coil forming a cavity therebetween, wherein the support element is received in the cavity and mechanically fastened to the support plates.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Siemens Healthcare LimitedInventor: Jonathan Noys

Patent number: 10878983Abstract: An electromagnet assembly has an outer shield coil assembly having a first end and a second end, and further has a housing having a first end wall and a second end wall spaced apart from one another by a side wall. The outer shield coil assembly and housing are centered on a common assembly axis. A first support pin extends between and couples the first end wall of the housing and the first end of the outer shield coil assembly. A second support pin extends between and couples the second end wall of the housing and the second end of the outer shield coil assembly. Hence the outer shield coil assembly is carried by the housing by the pins. The coupling of the end walls of the housing and ends of the outer shield coil assembly is configured to prevent relative radial and rotational movement between the outer shield coil assembly and the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Siemens Healthcare LimitedInventors: William James Bickell, Jonathan Noys, Alun Down
