Abstract:
The magnet and gradient systems suitable for electron paramagnetic resonance imaging experiments at RF range are presented. The air-core magnet based on the Helmholtz design in the article has a unique conical shape. A comprehensive study regarding the coils adjustment providing for the maximum field homogeneity is given. The z gradient is a four-coil system (seventh order), the transverse gradients are Golay coils (fifth order), and the scan system is the Helmholtz coil (fourth order). The magnet generates continuously a field of 37 mT (370 G), and the orthogonal gradient coils are designed to yield 100 mT/m (10 G/cm). The experimental tests have shown that the field generated is homogeneous to ± 10 ppm in the 6 x 6 x 3 cm3 region (x/y/z), which is our field of interest, and to ± 50 ppm in the 8 x 8 x 4 cm3 region (x/y/z). The system has the potential to monitor temporal changes of oxygen concentration in biological samples. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
