A cone-shaped gradient coil design for high-resolution MRI head imaging

Abstract: Insertable head gradient coils offer significant advantages such as high gradient strength and fast gradient switching speed owing to shorter distances to the target region of interest than whole-body cylindrical coils. To produce superior gradient performance, the local head coil is typically designed with an asymmetric configuration to accommodate both the shoulders and head of a patient, leading to tough dimensional constraints and practical limits to the coil implementation. In this paper, we propose a new… Show more

“…Instead, a transformation or projection guaranteeing mathematical and physical equivalence would be preferable. Previous research has optimized coils, which could in principle also serve for deriving equivalent coils [41][42][43]52]. However, the use of a global optimization framework, typically including search heuristics, does not necessary guarantee equivalence and further appears computationally excessive if instead a forward projection transformation were possible, which is comparatively resource-efficient.…”

“…This allows overcoming another limitation of the ISO/TS 10974, which currently prescribes to perform the tests using tabulated values of the root mean square of the time derivative of the magnetic field generated by the gradient coils. However, these values in the future could be no longer representative, considering the development of new technologies 32 and the introduction of new sequences, 33 therefore provoking the need for a continuous update of the standards in order to keep trace of the new reference values.…”
