In order to study the influence on gradient coils of
different track widths and frequencies, 30 split and
shielded, whole-body x-gradient coils were designed. The
track width was set from 1mm to 30mm with an increment
of 1mm. The 30 designed split x-gradient coils were
analyzed to study the interaction between the coils and
the metallic surroundings, which took into account the
skin and proximity effects. This study provides very
valuable information which will guide coil engineers to
choose the optimal wire track on regards the MRI coil
applications.
