Abstract
According to some aspects, a laminate panel is provided. The laminate panel comprises at least one laminate layer including at least one non-conductive layer and at least one conductive layer patterned to form at least a portion of a B0 coil configured to contribute to a B0 field suitable for use in low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Claims40
A component for use in magnetic resonance imaging of an object, the component comprising:
- a B0 magnet configured to produce a static B0 magnetic field to align atomic spins of the object in a direction of the B0 magnetic field for performing magnetic resonance imaging, the B0 magnet comprising at least one laminate panel comprising at least one laminate layer including at least one non-conductive layer and at least one conductive layer patterned to form at least one B0 coil configured to produce, when operated, substantially all of the static B0 magnetic field.
