ABSTRACT:
Sub-systems and components of a MRI system have enhanced electrical efficiency, faster operation, reduced physical metrics, by operating at cryogenic temperatures and/or incorporating superconducting elements. A plurality of sub-systems and a super-conducting magnet are enclosed in a common Temperature-controlled chamber. Resistive or permanent magnets may be used in place of the superconductive magnet.
