A special purpose gradient set with a Cos(2 theta) current distribution has been constructed for high resolution MR imaging of small samples in a clinical Signa 1.5 T scanner using the existing gradient amplifiers. The X, Y, and Z gradient coils can attain gradient field strengths of 11.3, 4.7, and 15.2 G/cm at 100 amps current, respectively, with a slew rate of 20 G/cm/ms and usable ramp time of 150 microseconds. Field distortions are less than 2% over the central 8 cm of the bore, suitable for high resolution tagging of isolated canine hearts.
利用现有的梯度放大器,在临床Signa 1.5 T扫描仪中构建了一种具有Cos(2θ)电流分布的特殊用途梯度集,用于对小样本进行高分辨率磁共振成像。X、Y和Z梯度线圈在100安培电流下,分别可达到11.3、4.7和15.2 G/cm的梯度场强, slew率为20 G/cm/ms,可用斜坡时间为150微秒。在孔径中心8厘米范围内,场畸变小于2%,适用于对离体犬心脏进行高分辨率标记。
