In this work, a force-vibration-noise model has been
developed for the analysis of gradient switching induced
acoustic noise in MRI. The acoustic model is based on
the finite difference method, and it can quantitatively
evaluate the acoustic noise produced by typical gradient
switching procedure. With the Tikhonov regularization
based optimization technique, new gradient coils are
designed; compared with conventional coils, the new
gradient coils offer excellent magnetic field linearity
and the sound pressure level is decreased by about 10%.
