MRI pulsed readout magnet

摘要

A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system (50) is provided including a superconducting magnet coil assembly (54). The magnet coil assembly (54) includes a superconducting magnet (82) and forms an imaging volume (60). The superconducting magnet (82) generates a polarizing field in the imaging volume (60). A readout magnet (106) generates a readout field in the imaging volume (60). A controller (102) is electrically coupled to the readout magnet (106) and pulses the readout magnet (106) to generate a uniform magnetic field through the imaging volume (60). A method for performing the same is also provided.
