摘要:
A low-field MRI system comprising: a magnetics system having a plurality of magnetics components configured to produce magnetic fields for MR imaging. The magnetics system comprises: a B0 magnet configured to produce a B0 field at a field strength of less than .2 Tesla (T); a plurality of gradient coils configured to, when operated, generate magnetic fields to provide spatial encoding of emitted MR signals; and at least one RF coil configured to, when operated, transmit RF signals to a field of view of the MIR system and to respond to MR signals emitted from the field of view. The MRI system comprises a power system comprising one or more power components configured to provide power to the magnetics system to operate the MRI system to perform image acquisition, wherein the power system operates the MRI system using an average of less than 5 kilowatts during image acquisition.
