Two current-model-based approaches are presented to accelerate the calculation of the magnetic field of permanent-magnet-array (PMA) for the popular body-part-dedicated portable MRI. It enables the acceleration of the optimization of a PMA.
The illustration of (a) Nested for-loop, and (b) Approach-1 and (c) Approach-2 for acceleration of calculation of the magnetic fields of PMAs.
The configuration of (a) Halbach (60 blocks) [6] and (b) IO ring-pair PMA (1200 blocks) [5]
