Mathematical approach for designing & development of Helmholtz coil for hyperpolarized Xenon gas used in MRI

NMR Research Centre of INMAS has developed an in-house Helmholtz coil. It will be used as a component of the system for hyperpolarizing Xenon gas for MRI application. The system will be helpful in imaging low proton density area of the body such as lungs efficiently. This paper describes the mathematical approach for designing the Helmholtz coil. Structure geometry, number of turns in winding and power supply calculations were done. The practical coil was constructed & magnetic field was measured at different points. The results were validated with the simulated results and there was good agreement. The field was uniform.
