Method for adjusting MRI superconducting magnet
A method of the present invention includes: a step of shimming an MRI superconducting magnet in consideration of the magnetic field atmosphere of a use place; a step of generating a rated magnetic field in the MRI superconducting magnet thus shimmed, under an environment in which the magnetic field atmosphere of the use place is realized; and a step of installing the MRI superconducting magnet in the use place after the step of generating the rated magnetic field. This reduces possibility of occurrence of quench and improves stability in the MRI superconducting magnet.
1. A method for adjusting an MRI superconducting magnet before installation thereof in a use place, comprising the steps of:
shimming said MRI superconducting magnet in consideration of a magnetic field atmosphere of said use place;
generating a rated magnetic field in said MRI superconducting magnet thus shimmed, under an environment in which said magnetic field atmosphere of said use place is realized; and
installing said MRI superconducting magnet in said use place after the step of generating said rated magnetic field, wherein:
a magnetic member is disposed around said MRI superconducting magnet to realize said magnetic field atmosphere of said use place, and
said magnetic member exerts, to said MRI superconducting magnet generating said rated magnetic field, electromagnetic force equivalent to electromagnetic force exerted to said MRI superconducting magnet generating said rated magnetic field in said magnetic field atmosphere of said use place.
2. A method for adjusting an MRI superconducting magnet before installation thereof in a use place, comprising the steps of:
shimming said MRI superconducting magnet in consideration of a magnetic field atmosphere of said use place;
generating a rated magnetic field in said MRI superconducting magnet thus shimmed, under an environment in which said magnetic field atmosphere of said use place is realized; and
