Abstract
Methods and apparatus for fabricating a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gradient coil for generating magnetic field gradients are provided. The method includes determining a pattern of gradient current paths on a surface using a set of stream functions oriented in at least one of a z-gradient, a y-gradient; and an x-gradient, and arranging conductive material to define a current path that conforms to the determined gradient current paths.
