In a method for designing a gradient coil composed of multiple sub-coils, parameters representing the structure of the gradient coil are varied, and the variation that produces an optimized electrical field generated by the gradient coil is determined. The final design of the gradient coil embodies those parameters that produced the optimal electrical field. In a method for manufacturing a gradient coil, the gradient coil is manufactured according to the final design. A gradient coil manufactured according to the invention has a gradient conductor configuration that optimizes the electrical field generated by the gradient coil. A magnetic resonance apparatus, and a combined positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance apparatus, embodies such a gradient coil.
