  • Gradient coil with variable dimension
    Patent number: 10295630
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a variable wire dimension gradient coil. In one example, a gradient coil includes a length of coiled wire, the wire comprising a first segment having a first width and a second segment having a second width, the second width smaller than the first width.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and systems for a dual wind gradient coil
    Patent number: 10031198
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a gradient coil assembly. In one embodiment, a gradient coil assembly comprises a hollow, first gradient coil and a solid, second gradient coil co-wound with the first gradient coil. In this way, the turn density of the gradient coil assembly may be increased.
