Abstract
A superconducting magnet apparatus. By forming one or more holes in each of platelike ferromagnetic substances forming a magnetic shield for focusing the magnetic flux generated by superconducting coils, the flow of lines of magnetic flux is adjusted. Thereby, a static magnetic field in a measurement space is corrected. By disposing coupling tubes for supporting two cooling vessels housing superconducting coils on the rear side with respect to a central axis (Z axis) of the measurement space of the vertical direction, access to the subject is facilitated. In addition, the magnetic shield has an opening portion wider than the superconducting magnet on its side face. After the magnetic shield has been assembled, the superconducting magnet can be inserted from the opening portion.
