Patent number: 6791325Abstract: An MR system isolation impedance mismatch apparatus (12) includes an impedance mismatch layer (24). The impedance mismatch layer (24) performs as a mechanical notch filter and isolates an MR system component (14) from a surrounding structure (18). A method of tuning the impedance mismatch apparatus (12) includes determining a default notch filter frequency range. The impedance mismatch apparatus (12) is formed and performs as a notch filter having the default notch filter frequency range. The impedance mismatch apparatus (12) is installed and tested between the MR system component (14) and the surrounding structure (18). Vibrations are detected in the MR system component (14) and in the surrounding structure (18). The impedance mismatch apparatus is adjusted in response to the detected vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: GE Medical Systems Global Technology Company, LLCInventors: David Edwards Dean, Mike James Radziun, Scott Thomas Mansell

Patent number: 5793210Abstract: A magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) scanner subassembly. In one subassembly, a preferably annularly-cylindrical-shaped enclosure contains a first vacuum, and an MRI gradient coil assembly is located within the enclosure in the first vacuum. Preferably, an annularly-cylindrical housing is included which is coaxially aligned with the enclosure and contains a second vacuum which is higher than the first vacuum, and an MRI superconductive main coil is located within the housing in the second vacuum. In another subassembly, an MRI gradient coil assembly has a threshold excitation frequency, and an isolation mount assemblage supports the MRI gradient coil assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1996Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Frederic Ghislain Pla, Robert Arvin Hedeen, Robert James Dobberstein, Thomas Gerard Ebben, Scott Thomas Mansell, Kemakolam Michael Obasih, Michael James Radziun, Peter Ping-Liang Sue, William Alan Edelstein
