Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a gradient coil supporting implement includes three bearings and a mounting main body. At least one of the three bearings is a spherical bearing. Shafts of these bearings are fixed to a static magnetic field magnet of an MRI apparatus. One end side of the mounting main body is fixed to an outer periphery side of an end face of the static magnetic field magnet, at one position via one of the bearings. The other end side of the mounting main body is fixed to an inner periphery side of the end face of the static magnetic field magnet, at two positions via the other two bearings. The mounting main body supports the gradient magnetic field coil unit (installed inside the static magnetic field magnet) in the horizontal direction by being partially made in contact with the gradient magnetic field coil unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A gradient coil supporting implement supporting a gradient magnetic field coil unit installed at an inner side of a static magnetic field magnet in an magnetic resonance apparatus, the gradient coil supporting implement comprising: three bearings whose shafts are respectively fixed to an end face of the static magnetic field magnet; and a mounting main body configured to be fixed to the end face of the static magnetic field magnet via the three bearings…
