A TESSERAL SHIM COIL FOR A MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM

A tesseral shim coil for shimming the magnetic field of a magnetic resonance system by generating the spherical harmonics of the sine and cosine type of the magnetic field, the tesseral shim coil comprising at least four saddle coils, wherein the sum of the azimuthal span of the at least four saddle...

Zusammenfassung:A tesseral shim coil for shimming the magnetic field of a magnetic resonance system by generating the spherical harmonics of the sine and cosine type of the magnetic field, the tesseral shim coil comprising at least four saddle coils, wherein the sum of the azimuthal span of the at least four saddle coils is less than 360 degrees. Thus, the radial thickness of the assembly can be reduced by combining multiple skim coils in the same layer.
