An imaging device may include a patient bore to house a subject to be imaged, wherein the patient bore includes one or more bore tubes. The imaging device may also include a gradient coil surrounding, at least partially, the patient bore and a radio frequency (RF) shield located outside the one or more bore tubes. Additionally, the imaging device may include an RF coil located within at least one of the bore tubes.

Radiofrequency coil and shield in magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus

A system includes a storage tank storing gas. The storage tank includes a storage tank interface portion made from a first material. The system also includes a nozzle that includes a nozzle interface portion and a first portion. The first portion is made from a second material different from the first material. Additionally, the system includes a connection formed by coupling the storage tank interface portion and the nozzle interface portion to one another, and the connection is configured to maintain a leak rate of the gas equal to or less than 1&#xd7;10standard cubic centimeters per second (std. cc/s).

Systems and methods for storing and distributing gases

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gradient coil assembly includes a substrate and first hollow conductor coil. The substrate has a surface. The first hollow conductor coil includes a first coiled portion and a first end run portion joined by a first eye lead portion. The first coiled portion defines a series of increasing radius loops disposed on the surface of the substrate, with an outer loop of the first coiled portion defining a coiled portion boundary. The first eye lead portion is disposed in a central portion of the first coiled portion. The first end run portion extends continuously from the first coiled portion via the first eye lead portion beyond the coiled portion boundary.
