Abstract:
Provided is a gradient magnetic field generation module using multiple coils to generate a gradient magnetic field. Provided is a gradient magnetic field generation module including: a gradient coil formed inside a main magnet and generating a gradient magnetic field and including a plurality of coils; and a gradient amplifier controlling at least one of a shape of the gradient magnetic field, a strength of the gradient magnetic field, and slew rate of the gradient magnetic field generated by the gradient coil, in which the plurality of coils is grouped into a plurality of coil groups and current which flows in the plurality of coils is independently controlled by the unit of a group by the gradient amplifier.
