Abstract
A gradient coil unit is described that is designed as a hollow cylinder surrounding a patient receiving region in the longitudinal direction and is subdivisible into four quadrants, comprising a primary coil including a conductor structure that includes a geometric arrangement of an electrical conductor with a conductor cross-section arranged within a quadrant of the four quadrants. The quadrant comprises at least one neutral region, which is defined in the longitudinal direction between a first longitudinal position and a second longitudinal position, and characterized in that the current density averaged over the neutral region is less than 25% of the maximum current density averaged over the conductor cross-section within the neutral region. The gradient coil unit is free of a secondary coil and/or free of an active screening.
