Novel geometry gradient coils for MRI designed by genetic algorithm

This thesis concerns the design of gradient coils for magnetic resonance imaging systems. The method of design by genetic algorithm optimisation is applied to novel gradient geometries both by use of conventional computer facilities, and, by parallelisation of the design algorithm, on a supercompute...
