Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging system is disclosed. The magnetic resonance imaging system includes a magnet core that generates a magnetic field including a plurality of magnetic field lines. The magnetic resonance imaging system also includes a plurality of gradient coils disposed along the magnet core and a plurality of gradient amplifiers. Further, the magnetic resonance imaging system includes a plurality of bus-bar conductors coupling a corresponding gradient coil of the plurality of gradient coils and a corresponding gradient amplifier of the plurality of gradient amplifiers. The plurality of bus-bar conductors is disposed along at least one of a first path extending along the plurality of magnetic field lines and a second path extending along a substantially linear direction from the corresponding gradient coil to a fringe region of the magnetic field to reduce an effect of Lorentz force on the plurality of bus-bar conductors.
