Abstract
A compact shield gradient coil system has a first set of gradient coils surrounded by a conducting shield. A second set of gradient coils is provided around the outside of the conducting shield. The first and second set of gradient coils and the conducting shield produce a linear gradient field inside the imaging volume and protect the imaging volume from interference, such as eddy current interference.
