An application of the target field method to the design of shielded biplanar gradient coils for magnetic resonance imaging electromagnets is presented. Some specific cases are studied, and optimized geometries are proposed for the axial and transverse gradient coils that eliminate the third- and min

Ultrashort gradient coils for ultrashort cylindrical MRI systems require new design methods. The challenge is to reduce system length while maintaining performance, e.g., to maintain acceptable linearity and uniformity over a large field of view (FoV). Trading MR system performance to achieve short
## Abstract Techniques are described for the design of shielded gradient coils for superconducting MRI systems. These design methods are suited for constructing the most efficient gradient coil that meets a specified homogeneity requirement. Tradeoffs in coil design of efficiency with coil size and
## Abstract A formalism for the calculation of fields generated by current distributions on hyperbolic surfaces of revolution is presented and used to generate designs for shielded gradient coils. One application is the development of small, insertable coils suitable for head imaging while allowing
A distributed coil design is described which employs active force shielding to reduce acoustic noise. Both axial and transverse gradients employ sets of distributed pairs of coplanar closed-arc loops whose planes are normal to the static magnetic field direction. The resulting gradients are also par
Active magnetic screening allows the production of gradient coils which are magnetically decoupled from their surroundings. Using such coils the eddy current problems associated with the generation of large, rapidly switched gradients within the confines of a superconductive magnet can be eliminated
