摘要
The Whole Body 11.7 T MRI Magnet is an actively shielded magnet system, with a stored energy of 338 MJ and an inductance of 308 H. Operating at a homogeneous field level of 11.75 T within a 90 cm warm bore, the cryostat has external dimensions of 4.8 m in diameter and 5.0 m in length. It is part of the Iseult/Inumac project, a French-German initiative focused on very-high-magnetic-field molecular imaging to improve sensitivity, spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution for preclinical and/or clinical MR systems. After the qualification of two first unit lengths of 820 m, the NbTi conductor with a current of 1483 A is now being produced at Luvata Waterbury. Winding of the main coil, made of 170 double pancakes, is starting at Alstom Belfort. Several pieces of equipment have already been delivered to the Neurospin site, CEA Saclay,; including the main refrigerator produced by Air Liquide. Several prototypes have been tested and confirmed the soundness of the magnet design. This paper describes the 11.7 T magnet and the latest progress in its design and fabrication.
