Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The systems may include a gradient coil assembly configured to form a gradient magnetic field. The systems may also include a cryostat including a superconducting coil assembly and a magnetic field shielding apparatus arranged on/in a component of the cryostat. The superconducting coil assembly may be configured to form a main magnetic field. The magnetic field shielding apparatus may be configured to shield the superconducting coil assembly from a stray field of the gradient coil assembly. The magnetic field shielding apparatus may include a conductive shielding component, a shielding cylinder, or a combination thereof.
