ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for fabricating a gradient coil for an MR imaging system having an open magnet. The method includes forming a structure from thin conductive material such as copper, the structure generally comprising a section of a cylinder and a section of an annulus joined to an edge of the cylinder section as a flange. During a first cutting operation, a plurality of first groove segments are cut through the material, each of the first groove segments lying in one of a plurality of cutting zones selectively positioned around the structure, a strip of material positioned between two adjacent groove segments comprising a coil turn segment. The coil turn segments of a cutting zone are rigidly joined to one another and to a support frame comprising the outer edge of the structure by suitable means. Thereafter, a second cutting operation is performed, whereby a plurality of second groove segments are cut through the material to completely form the gradient coil.
