The stochastic design of force-minimized compact magnets for high-field magnetic resonance imaging applications.

New designs for force-minimized compact high-field clinical MRI magnets are described. The design method is a modified simulated annealing (SA) procedure which includes Maxwell forces in the error function to be minimized. This permits an automated force reduction in the magnet designs while control...
