Magnet system for performing 2-field NMR experiments and associated retrofitting method
In a magnet system: —a superconducting main field magnet (7) generates a magnetic field in a first sample volume (16), —a superconducting additional field magnet (22) generates another field in a second sample volume (24), —a cryostat (2) has a cooled main coil container (6), an evacuated RT (room temperature) covering (4), and an RT bore (14) which extends through the main and the additional field magnets, and —a cooled additional coil container (21) in a vacuum. The RT covering has a flange connection (17) with an opening (19) through which the RT bore extends, a front end of the additional coil container protrudes through the opening into the RT covering such that the additional field magnet also protrudes through the opening into the RT covering, and a closure structure (20) seals the RT covering between the flange connection and the RT bore.

CORRECTING THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF A MEDICAL APPARATUS WITH A GANTRY
A method of correcting a magnetic field of a medical apparatus (300) comprising a magnetic resonance imaging system (302). The MRI system includes a magnet (306) for generating the magnetic field within an imaging zone 318. The magnet generates a magnetic field with a zero crossing (346, 404) outside of the imaging zone. The medical apparatus further comprises a gantry (332) configured for rotating a ferromagnetic component (336, 510) about a rotational axis (333). The method comprises the step of installing (100, 200) a magnetic correcting element (348, 900, 1000) located on a radial path (344, 504) perpendicular to the rotational axis. The magnetic correcting element is positioned on the radial path such that change in the magnetic field within the imaging zone due to the ferromagnetic component is reduced. The method further comprises repeatedly: measuring (102, 202, 1204) the magnetic field within the imaging zone; determining (104, 204, 1206) the change in the magnetic field in the imaging zone; and adjusting (106, 206, 1208) the position of the magnetic correcting element along the radial path if the change in the magnetic field is above a predetermined threshold.
MAGNETIC MOMENT ARRANGEMENT CALCULATION METHOD FOR MAGNETIC FIELD ADJUSTMENT, MAGNETIC FIELD ADJUSTMENT DEVICE AND PROGRAM
A magnetic moment arrangement calculation method for magnetic field adjustment by combining correction of a component of a low-order mode with correction of a component of a high-order mode among the eigenmodes so as to calculate arrangement of the magnetic moment for approximately correcting the error magnetic field distribution, in which the low-order mode is an eigenmode group from the first of eigenmode numbers assigned to respective eigenmodes in the magnitude order of singular values to an eigenmode number specified by a first threshold value, in which the high-order mode is an eigenmode group with an eigenmode number more than the first threshold value, and in which a correction amount of the component of the high-order mode is smaller than a correction amount of the component of the low-order mode.
