Design of a mobile, homogeneous, and efficient electromagnet with a large field of view for neonatal low-field MRI

摘要

In this work, a prototype of an effective electromagnet with a field-of-view (FoV) of 140 mm for neonatal head imaging is presented. The efficient implementation succeeded by exploiting the use of steel plates as a housing system. We achieved a compromise between large sample volumes, high homogeneity, high B-0 field, low power consumption, light weight, simple fabrication, and conserved mobility without the necessity of a dedicated water cooling system.
