SINGLE-SIDED FAST MRI GRADIENT FIELD COILS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

A single-sided gradient coil set for single-sided magnetic resonance imaging system is disclosed. The coil set is configured to generate a magnetic field outwards away from the coil set. The coil set includes one or more first spiral coils at a first position relative to the aperture and one or more second spiral coils at a second position relative to the aperture. The coil set is configure to flow a current through the one or more first spiral coils and the one or more second spiral coils to generate an electromagnetic field gradient configured to project away from the coil set and into an imaging region of the magnetic imaging system.
