Abstract:
1. A method for providing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radio frequency (RF) shield, comprising: controlling a processor in an RF shield fabricator to identify a desired degree of RF shielding to be achieved by the RF shield; controlling the processor in the RF shield fabricator to identify a desired heating attribute for the RF shield; controlling the processor in the RF shield fabricator to identify a gradient field to which the RF shield will be exposed, the gradient field being produced by a gradient coil in an MRI apparatus; controlling the processor in the RF shield fabricator to identify an RF field to which the RF shield will be exposed, the RF field being produced by an RF transmission coil in the MRI apparatus; and controlling the processor in the RF shield fabricator to, upon identifying a hot region on the RF shield where a determined heating attribute does not satisfy the desired heating attribute,
