Abstract
The invention relates to refrigerated superconducting MR magnets having integrated gradient coils. In particular, the amount of eddy currents produced by the magnet are substantially reduced while reducing the size and weight, and, therefore, the cost of the superconducting magnet required to produce an MR image.
