An MRIS gradient coil sub-assembly comprising,
- a first coil layer comprising a first conductive coil portion,
- a second coil layer comprising a second conductive coil portion electrically connected with the first conductive coil portion so that the first and second conductive coil portions act together as one winding, and
- an insulation layer sandwiched between the first and second coil layers.
A method of manufacturing a gradient coil sub-assembly comprising a first coil layer comprising a first conductive coil portion,
- a second coil layer comprising a second conductive coil portion electrically connected with the first conductive coil portion so that the first and second conductive coil portions act together as one winding, and
- an insulation layer sandwiched between the first and second coil layers, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) laminating the first and second conductive coil portions together by bonding the first and second conductive coil portions on opposing sides of the insulation layer;
- and
- b) electrically connecting the first conductive coil portion to the second conductive coil portion.
