ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a gradient magnetic field coil for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system for imaging an imaginary or virtual cross-section of a desired portion of a subject to be inspected, utilizing a magnetic resonance phenomenon. The gradient magnetic field coil includes a coil bobbin and coil windings fixedly mounted on the coil bobbin. The coil bobbin includes a tubular body portion of a honeycomb construction having a number of vacancies formed in a wall of the tubular body portion, a sheet-like outer peripheral portion of a constrained damping structure fixedly secured to an outer peripheral surface of the body portion to reinforce the body portion, and a sheet-like inner peripheral portion fixedly having at least one layer and secured to an inner peripheral surface of the body portion to reinforce the body portion. The generation and continuation of vibrations in the coil bobbin are controlled or suppressed directly by the coil bobbin itself, thereby minimizing the generation of noise.
