Gradient coils are essential for MRI where fast and large electrical current pulses are typically applied to conventional, single-channel gradient coils, particularly for high-performance gradient applications. However, these pulses result in significant power losses and heating of the coil. We investigate the design of power-efficient multi-channel Z-gradient coils operating in the conventional m...Show More
Gradient coils are essential for the performance of magnetic resonance imaging systems. Usually, coils are designed assuming thin wire tracks. Here, we design an MR gradient coil set using a more general approach considering the exact track width using the discrete wire approach. The effect of track width on the DC current density distribution and resultant magnetic fields using both loop and Gola...Show More
Gradient coils are vital for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Their rapid switching generates eddy currents in the surrounding metallic structures of the MRI scanner causing undesirable thermal, acoustic, and field distortion effects. The use of actively shielded gradient coils does not eliminate such undesirable effects totally. Use of passive shielding was proposed lately to particularly help i...Show More
MRI gradient coils are mainly designed using discrete wire techniques and continuous current density methods. The width of the coil tracks is not usually included upfront in the coil design optimization process. In this work, we use stream functions to compute the current density distribution on modular coil tracks which are consequently used to calculate resultant magnetic fields and coil resista...Show More
