ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet having a first section and a second section is disclosed. The first section has a first housing, and a first set of magnet coils arranged about a common axis that include coils proximate the common axis. The second section has a second housing, and a second set of magnet coils arranged about the common axis where the coils are radially displaced from the common axis. The second section is connected to but axially displaced a distance “d” from the first section.
