Overview system
About function
A detailed specification of the systems hardware and software is
provided in the Info dialog box (main menu Help > Info).
The Info dialog can be used in combination with the information
provided in the System Owner Manual (MR compatibility data sheet)
to determine the specification of the static magnetic field, the
gradients and the RF.
Super-conducting magnet
The super-conducting magnet generates a strong homogeneous
magnetic field with the following field strength:
Field strength
System
1.5T MAGNETOM Avanto
3T MAGNETOM Verio
The magnet is filled with liquid helium as a coolant. Following
installation, it is adjusted to the desired operating field strength. The
ramped-up magnet does not require additional electric power to
maintain the magnetic field.
To minimize the effects of the magnetic fringe field on the
environment, the magnet of the MR system is equipped with active
super-conducting shielding.
The gradient system provides precise localizing slice positions.
For details on the gradient system, please refer to the System owner
manual.
