Integral shield for mr magnet

摘要

An integrally shielded magnetic resonance magnet is provided comprising a cylindrical ferromagnetic shell and two ferromagnetic circular end plates each defining a central aperture extending axially therethrough. The end plates are welded vacuum leak tight at their peripheries to either end of the shell. A nonmagnetic cylindrical tube is welded vacuum leak tight between the central apertures of the end plates forming an axially extending bore through the cylindrical shell. The ferromagnetic shell and end plates are heated with rust inhibiting coatings. The end plates, shell and nonmagnetic tube form a vacuum vessel and shield. Magnet windings are situated in the vacuum vessel synthesized for operating in the presence of the ferromagnetic vessel.
