BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging (hereinafter MRI) system, or more particularly, to an MRI system having shield-type gradient coils, which produces magnetic field gradients to be superposed on a static magnetic field, and shim coils for homogenizing the static magnetic field.
2. Description of the Related Art
In MRI, as already known, a static magnetic field to be produced using a magnet such as a superconducting magnet is desired to have strict homogeneity. This is because the homogeneity of a static magnetic field is an important factor for determining the quality (signal-to-noise ratio and resolution) of a spectrum of an MR signal to be acquired. For homogenizing a static magnetic field, normally, shim coils are interposed between a magnet for producing a static magnetic field and gradient coils inside a magnetic field space of the magnet. A current to be fed to each of the shim coils is controlled manually or automatically by means of a computer. The number of channels of, for example, a shim coil for secondary shimming is five, including ,shimming channels Z2, ZX, ZY, XY, and X2 -Y2. The number of channels of a shim coil is determined by conditions such as a size of a required measurement area in an imaging space and a required precision in homogeneity. A gradient coil unit (having x, y, and z coils) is often used in common for primary shimming in X, Y, and Z channels.

homogeneização primária

Explanation:

Quando se fala de magnetismo, shim = homegeneizar:

Como tem "primary" e "secondary" no texto, usaria primária e secundária.

Isso é exatamente uma ação de calçar, como na mecânica

Exatamente uma ação de calçamento.
