ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing eddy currents caused by the gradient magnetic field in a magnetic resonance system employs an anti-eddy current device formed by a number of laminated metallic plates, and includes the steps of calculating the distribution of the main magnetic field of the magnetic resonance system in the anti-eddy current device, calculating the distribution of the main magnetic field and the gradient magnetic field in the anti-eddy current device, subtracting the calculated distribution of the main magnetic field in the anti-eddy current device from the calculated distribution of the main magnetic field and the gradient magnetic field in the anti-eddy current device, to obtain the distribution of the gradient magnetic field in the anti-eddy current device, and adjusting the setting of the metallic plates of the anti-eddy current device based on the distribution of the gradient magnetic field in the anti-eddy current device, so as to reduce the eddy current. The adjustment in the metallic plates of the anti-eddy current device should be such that the gradient magnetic field is parallel to or substantially parallel to the plane of the metallic plates. The metallic plates can be further divided into a number of areas, or the laminating direction of the metallic plates in different areas can be adjusted according to the specific distribution of the gradient magnetic field to obtain the optimum effect of eddy current reduction.
