ABSTRACT:
A closed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet has a single superconductive coil assembly including a coil housing containing a cryogenic fluid dewar containing a pair of longitudinally-outermost impregnated superconductive main coils and at-least-one cryostable additional superconductive coil such as a pair of additional main coils, a pair of bucking coils, and/or a pair of shielding coils. An open MRI magnet has two spaced-apart superconductive coil assemblies and an imaging volume having a center. Each coil assembly has a cryostable superconductive main coil and an impregnated bucking coil with the impregnated bucking coil being the closest superconductive coil to the center of the imaging volume.
