More Information
Summary:A thermal shield and method for thermally cooling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system are provided. One thermal shield 26 includes a cooling tube 46 forming a frame 44. The cooling tube is configured to receive therethrough cryogen fluid from a cryogen vessel of an MRI system. The thermal shield further includes at least one thermal control layer 48 surrounding the frame and together with the frame is configured to provide thermal shielding of the MRI system.
