Abstract
In a superconducting magnet, including a vacuum vessel, a coil vessel inside the vacuum vessel, and a superconducting coil inside the coil vessel for generating a magnetic field, has a magnetic member, disposed inside the vacuum vessel, supported with thermal insulation, for compensating the magnetic field; a heat exchange device disposed outside the vacuum vessel for supplying to or absorbing heat from the vacuum vessel; and thermal conducting members thermally connecting the heat exchange device via the vacuum vessel to the magnetic member. An MRI including the superconducting magnet is also disclosed.
