The present disclosure may provide a magnetic resonance (MR) system. The MR system may include a magnet assembly, a gradient coil assembly, and a shim assembly. The magnet assembly may be configured to generate a main magnetic field. The magnet assembly may include a magnet and a cryostat configured to cool the magnet located inside the cryostat. The cryostat may form a bore. The gradient coil assembly may be configured to generate a gradient magnetic field. The gradient coil assembly may be located inside the bore. The shim assembly may be configured to at least partially shield a stray field which is generated by the gradient coil assembly and to which the magnet is subjected. The shim assembly may be located outside the gradient coil assembly.

Magnetic resonance system

The present disclosure relates to a shimming device. The shimming device may include at least one supporting component each of which is configured with a plurality of wire groove groups. Each of the plurality of wire groove groups may include a plurality of wire grooves. Each of the plurality of wire grooves may be in a closed shape. The closed shapes formed by the plurality of wire grooves may be nested. The shimming device may further include wires arranged in the wire grooves of the plurality of wire groove groups of the at least one supporting component.

Shimming device for a magnetic resonance imaging system

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The systems may include a gradient coil assembly configured to form a gradient magnetic field. The systems may also include a cryostat including a superconducting coil assembly and a magnetic field shielding apparatus arranged on/in a component of the cryostat. The superconducting coil assembly may be configured to form a main magnetic field. The magnetic field shielding apparatus may be configured to shield the superconducting coil assembly from a stray field of the gradient coil assembly. The magnetic field shielding apparatus may include a conductive shielding component, a shielding cylinder, or a combination thereof.

Systems and methods for magnetic resonance imaging

The present disclosure relates to a magnetic resonance imaging device and shimming methods on the magnetic resonance imaging device. The magnetic resonance imaging device includes a main magnet, gradient coils, a vacuum enclosure, and a shimming conduit. The vacuum enclosure is configured to house at least part of the shimming conduit. The vacuum enclosure and at least part of the shimming conduit defines a hermetically sealed space configured to house the gradient coils. The shimming conduit has at least one opening configured to allow for access to an interior of the shimming conduit. The interior of the shimming conduit is hermetically insulated from the hermetically sealed space.
