Conceptual designs of conduction cooled MgB 2 magnets for 1.5 and 3.0 T full body MRI systems

Abstract Conceptual designs of 1.5 and 3.0 T full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnets using conduction cooled MgB 2 superconductor are presented. The sizes, locations, and number of turns in the eight coil bundles are determined using optimization methods that minimize the amount of superc... View More
