High-Temperature Superconducting Magnets for NMR and MRI: R&D Activities at the MIT
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the NMR/MRI magnets that are currently being developed at the MIT Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory: 1) a 1.3 GHz NMR magnet; 2) a compact NMR magnet assembled from YBCO annuli; and 3) a persistent-mode, fully-protected 0.5-T/800-mm whole-body MRI magnet.

Solid-Cryogen Cooling Technique for Superconducting Magnets of NMR and MRI
This paper describes a solid-cryogen cooling technique currently being developed at the M.I.T. Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory for application to superconducting magnets of NMR and MRI. The technique is particularly appropriate for “dry” magnets that do not rely on liquid cryogen, e.g., liquid helium (LHe), as their primary cooling sources. In addition, the advantages of a cryocirculator (a co...
متن کاملDevelopments in Superconducting Wires and Magnets
We have been developing superconducting wires and magnets for over 40 years and decided to focus on the NMR field in the early 1990s. Japan Superconductor Technology Inc., established in 2002, has successfully applied the R&D achievement of Kobe Steel to their production of superconducting wires and magnets. This article describes developments in superconducting wires and magnets with focus on ...
متن کاملHigh Temperature Superconducting Radio Frequency Coils for Nmr Spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
High-temperature superconductivity has a significant opportunity to improve the performance of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The low rf losses and compact size of superconducting coils allow them to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in applications where the system noise dominates that of the sample under study. These improvements tr...
متن کاملHigh-field NMR using resistive and hybrid magnets.
Resistive and resistive-superconducting hybrid magnets can generate dc magnetic fields much higher than conventional superconducting NMR magnets but the field spatial homogeneity and temporal stability are usually not sufficient for high-resolution NMR experiments. Hardware and technique development addressing these issues are presented for high-resolution NMR at magnetic fields up to 40T. Pass...
متن کاملA Common Coil Design for High Field 2-in-1 Accelerator Magnets
A common coil design concept for 2-in-1 superconducting accelerator magnets is presented. It practically eliminates the major problems in the ends of high field magnets built with either high temperature superconductors (HTS) or conventional superconductors. Racetrack coils, consisting of rectangular blocks built with either superconducting tapes or cables, are common to both apertures with eac...
