ABSTRACT:
A gradient system for a nuclear spin resonance (NMR) tomograph with a main magnet system producing a homogeneous magnetic field directed along a z-axis inside a measuring volume, wherein the main magnet system provides access to the measuring volume along the z-axis and transversely to the z-axis, and wherein the gradient system comprises two first partial gradient systems which are located at opposite sides of a central plane perpendicular to the z-axis, across the measuring volume. At least one of the two partial gradient systems is movable between at least two positions along the z-axis. In this way, with a small constructional size and with a simple manufacturing procedure, a gradient system is obtained with high performance capability with respect to generated gradient strength for given ampere turns, high linearity of the generated gradient fields, minimum inductance and minimum electrical resistance of the conductor segments.
