ABSTRACT:
An MRI magnet member (e.g., a pole piece or tip) is laminated using relatively large bar-shaped laminations instead of the usual thin sheet material. One or more layers of such bar-shaped laminations are arrayed with small insulating gaps into which a low loss insulating liquid filler material is flowed and then cured to a hardened solid state. This simultaneously produces insulated pole tip laminations which have been robustly integrated together into a unitary structure. The resulting robust laminated pole tip is relatively easy to manufacture and is also capable of withstanding rather large magnetic forces and maintaining relatively uniform magnetic field distribution within an MRI imaging region while yet providing providing sufficient eddy current reduction so as to efficiently permit rapidly changing magnetic gradient coil currents to be established.
