Abstract
A gradient coil assembly for a magnetic resonance imaging device is disclosed. The gradient coil assembly comprises a cylindrical carrier with conductors forming three gradient coils associated with three orthogonal physical gradient axes. The cylindrical carrier comprises at least two radial through openings at different angular positions. At least one of the conductors runs through at least one area of the carrier located circumferentially between the through openings.
Claims20
A gradient coil assembly for a magnetic resonance imaging device, comprising:
- a cylindrical carrier;
- and
- a set of conductors forming three gradient coils, the set of conductors being included in the cylindrical carrier, and each one of the three gradient coils being associated with a respective one of three orthogonal physical gradient axes,
- wherein the cylindrical carrier comprises two radial through openings disposed at different angular positions with respect to one another,
- wherein a conductor from among the set of conductors passes through an area of the cylindrical carrier that is located circumferentially between the two radial through openings, and
- wherein the dimensions of the two radial through openings correspond to a field of view of a medical imaging device using the two radial through openings.
