No electrical power to maintain B0
No cryogen
What are the disadvantages of a permanent magnet? - answerLow field strength
Weight range
What is a Resistive magnet? - answerRequires constant current of electricity in
electromagnetic coils and maintain a B0
Operates at temperatures higher tan superconductive
What is the field strength of a resistive magnet? - answer0-0.6 Tesla
Homogeneity is Fair
Advantages of a resistive magnet? - answerEasy to construct
Low fringe field
Low field strength
Can be turned off when not performing MRI scans
Disadvantages of a resistive magnet? - answerSensitive to temperature fluctuations
Expensive electrical power cost to maintain B o and cooling system.
What is a Superconductive magnet? - answerA magnetic field that is produced by an
electrical current flowing near absolute zero.
When does the magnet becomes superconductive? - answer4 degrees Kelvin
