ABSTRACT:
A gradient coil system for an image-generating, nuclear magnetic resonance tomographic apparatus, particularly a zeugmatographic apparatus. The gradient coil system is arranged on a hollow cylindrical support body having an axis which extends along the z-direction of an x, y, z coordinate system which has an origin in the center of an imaging region. The gradient coil system contains, in addition to ring-shaped individual coils for generating field gradients which are substantially constant in the imaging region, a plurality of saddle-shaped coils which are symmetrically arranged through the imaging center for generating field gradients in the x and y directions. The saddle-shaped coils have straight conductor sections extending in the z-direction and arc-shaped conductor sections which extend perpendicularly with respect to the z-axis and along the circumferential direction of the support body. In accordance with the invention, a further arc-shaped conductor section is connected in parallel with the arc-shaped conductor sections, the further arc-shaped conductor section facing a plane of symmetry. All of the arc-shaped conductor sections are displaced in the z-direction from the plane of symmetry by predetermined distances, and each arc-shaped conductor section has an electric linkage factor which is responsive to the distance between the particular arc-shaped conductor section and the plane of symmetry.
