Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system are provided. The MRI system includes a magnetics system and a power system configured to provide power to at least some of the magnetics system. The power system includes an energy storage device and a power supply configured to receive mains electricity. The MRI system also includes at least one controller configured to control the MRI system to operate in accordance with a pulse sequence at least in part by generating, by using power supplied by the power supply and supplemental power supplied by the energy storage device, at least one gradient field using at least one gradient coil of the magnetics system.
