  • 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

  • Systems and methods for MRI continuous gradient coils
    Patent number: 10126386
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gradient coil assembly includes a substrate and first hollow conductor coil. The substrate has a surface. The first hollow conductor coil includes a first coiled portion and a first end run portion joined by a first eye lead portion. The first coiled portion defines a series of increasing radius loops disposed on the surface of the substrate, with an outer loop of the first coiled portion defining a coiled portion boundary. The first eye lead portion is disposed in a central portion of the first coiled portion. The first end run portion extends continuously from the first coiled portion via the first eye lead portion beyond the coiled portion boundary.

  • 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.
