Abstract :
Image quality in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is closely connected to the quality of three types of magnetic fields. The geometry design of their generating coils is based on algorithmic optimization codes. The author discusses the strategies used and shows examples of solutions related to coil design optimization
