description Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging method that utilizes radio waves and magnetic fields. This study focuses on reducing the acoustic noise produced inside the cylindrical shell of the scanner, where the patient is located. Vibration modes are generated by eddy currents in the cylindrical shell induced by gradient magnetic fields. Additionally, the scanner wall is typically joined to the gradient spiral cylinder, causing vibrations to be transmitted to the wall and thereby producing extra sound waves. The present study investigates methods for mitigating noise from the scanner wall and reducing the transmission noise from the spiral gradient cylinder. Numerical methods and practical solutions for lowering acoustic noise in MRI gradient coils are explored. A 20 mm uniform absorber is demonstrated as an effective design for significantly reducing acoustic noise in the frequency range 0 to 3 kHz. Finally, numerical analysis of gradient cycles yields solutions that lower both vibration and noise levels.
