ABSTRACT:
The gradient coil system in a conventional MRI apparatus is optimized in respect of the shielding effect by the shielding coil of the system. Consequently, the system generally is not optimized in respect of the Lorentz forces occurring in the system, resulting in noise of a level such that it is annoying to the users. In order to avoid such noise, the system can be force-optimized. Because the shielding effect is partly lost in that case, however, eddy currents and hence disturbing noise would occur again. However, if the eddy currents are made to occur in acoustically insulated eddy current conductors which also have a large time constant for the decay of the eddy currents, the adverse effects of these eddy currents are adequately counteracted and the disturbing noise is reduced to an adequate extent. Particularly, the (cold) radiation shields of a cryogenic magnet system, arranged in vacuum, can be used as eddy current conductors. The vacuum then constitutes the acoustic insulation.
