MUMBAI, India, April 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647036009 A) filed by Koninklijke Philips N. V., Eindhoven, Netherlands, on March 25, for 'magnetic resonance magnet assembly and radiation shield assembly.'
Inventor(s) include Forthmann, Peter.
The application for the patent was published on April 10, under issue no. 15/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet assembly. The magnet assembly comprises a two-stage cryo-cooling system, a primary coil, and a radiation shield assembly. The cryo-cooling system comprises a high-temperature stage and a low-temperature stage. The high- temperature stage is adapted for providing an upper working temperature. The primary coil is thermally coupled to the low-temperature stage. The radiation shield assembly is thermally coupled to the high- temperature stage, and comprises a shim coil and a radiation shield carrying the shim coil. The radiation shield is disposed in the cryostat to shield the primary coil from thermal radiation. When the shield assembly is in thermal equilibrium with the high-temperature stage, the radiation shield has the upper working temperature and thus shields the primary coil from thermal radiation that originates from temperatures above the upper working temperature."
The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 09, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/075055.
