Abstract:
A hollow-cylindrical gradient coil system comprising:a gradient coil comprising gradient coil circumferential conductor sections disposed longitudinally spaced from each other at a first cylindrical surface, and gradient coil longitudinal conductor sections electrically connecting said gradient coil circumferential conductor sections; a shielding coil for shielding said gradient coil, comprising shielding coil circumferential conductor sections disposed longitudinally spaced from each other at a second cylindrical surface that is disposed a radial distance outside of said first cylindrical surface, and shielding coil longitudinal conductor sections electrically connecting said shielding coil circumferential conductor sections; and said gradient coil longitudinal conductor sections being spaced from said shielding coil longitudinal conductor sections at a distance that is less than said radial spacing.
