摘要：A topology optimization method based on the solid isotropic material with penalization interpolation scheme is utilized for designing gradient coils for use in magnetic resonance *** the popular stream function method,the proposed method has design variables that are the distribution of conductive material.A voltage-driven transverse gradient coil is proposed to be used as micro-scale magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)gradient coils,thus avoiding introducing a coil-winding pattern and simplifying the coil *** proposed method avoids post-processing errors that occur when the continuous current density is approximated by discrete wires in the stream function *** feasibility and accuracy of the method are verified through designing the z-gradient and y-gradient coils on a cylindrical *** design results show that the proposed method can provide a new coil layout in a compact design space.
