ABSTRACT:
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus in which weight considerations and accessibility of the patient result in a magnet 1 with a large bore 2, in order to enable spectroscopy or other activities requiring large magnetic fields to nevertheless be carried out, a small magnet 4 with its own cryostat can be moved from an inoperative position A to an operative position B, in which the large magnet acts as a shield winding for the small magnet.
