Abstract
A gradient coil assembly (62) for use in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system includes primary coils (68), shield coils (72) and a supporting structure (10) arranged between the primary coils (68) and the shield coils (72). The supporting structure (10) includes at least a supporting element (12) including a first end face (14) and at least a first recess (24) with an opening (26) in the first end face (14). The first recess (24) extends in a longitudinal direction (18) of the supporting element (12) forming a tray for receiving a passive shim bar.
