GRADIENT COIL DEVICE AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

A gradient coil device includes a major axis gradient coil, having an ellipse in a cross section generating a gradient magnetic field inclined in a major axis direction of the ellipse at a magnetic field space; and a minor axis gradient coil, having an ellipse in a cross section generating a gradient magnetic field inclined in a minor axis direction of the ellipse at the magnetic field space. A length of the minor axis field coil in the center axis direction is shorter than a length of the major axis gradient coil in the center axis direction. A maximum value of a residual magnetic field generated by the minor axis gradient coil at a space outside the magnetic field space is equal to or smaller than a maximum value of a residual magnetic field generated by the major axis gradient coil at a space outside the magnetic field space.
