Abstract

The embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to magnetic resonance imaging systems and, more specifically, to the manufacturing of a gradient coil assembly for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. For example, in one embodiment, a method includes ultrasonically consolidating a plurality of sheets of a conductive material to form a consolidated structure and machining one or more conductive channels into the consolidated structure to form an inductor.
