Abstract
The relatively fragile low-temperature stability of cryogen-free superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnets requires the careful management of exogenous heat sources. A strongly shielded gradient magnetic field is important for the optimal operation of cryogen-free MRI systems. In this study, we present an enhanced shielding method incorporating a regionalized stray field constraining strategy. By optimizing the constraint parameters, we could develop engineering-feasible gradient coil schemes without increasing system complexity but with the stray field intensity reduced by half. In real measurement in an integrated MRI system, the developed gradient assembly demonstrated good performance and supported to output images of excellent quality. Our findings suggested that the proposed method could potentially form a useful design paradigm for cryogen-free MRI magnets.
