Field mapping system

Final year B.Tech students- Vamshi Krishnan and Aditya Kalluri have developed a precision field mapping system designed to assess the magnetic field uniformity within our upcoming MRI setup. This system is a high-accuracy, 3-axis translational platform capable of scanning the designated field of view with a positional precision of up to 0.01 mm.

The field mapper operates within the following workspace dimensions:

X-axis: -12.5 cm to +12.5 cm

Y-axis: 0 cm to 25 cm

Z-axis: 0 cm to 50 cm

At each point within this 3D volume, the system measures the magnetic field strength, enabling detailed analysis of field homogeneity. This is a critical step in ensuring optimal image quality and performance in MRI applications, as even minor variations in the magnetic field can significantly impact imaging results.
