摘要： A magnet apparatus having two static magnetic field-generating sources constituted by current-carrying means (13 to 16) arranged concentrically to generate a uniform magnetic field directed in the first direction, each static magnetic field generating source having at least four current-carrying means. Assume that a predetermined line (18) lies in a first plane including a first axis extending in parallel with the first direction and passing through near the centers of the current-carrying means, a second axis intersecting the first axis perpendicularly and existing nearly at an equal distance from the second static magnetic field-generating source. When the geometrical center of the cross section of each current-carrying means is projected onto the predetermined straight line (18) on the first plane, the forward and reverse current-carrying directions of the corresponding current-carrying means are alternatingly arranged for each of the static magnetic field-generating sources.

摘要： A small-sized highly precise superconducting magnet device such that the magnetic flux changes little with the time and quenching hardly occurs. A magnetization adjusting method for uniformly magnetizing such a magnet device is also disclosed. The superconducting magnet device has a coolant container, a permanent current retaining medium which is provided in the container and generates a magnetic flux in a uniform magnetic field region (FOV), a static magnetic field generating means composed of a plurality of cylindrical bodies made up of superconducting composite plates, a cylindrical body supporting base which supports the cylindrical bodies, and temperature adjusting elements (not shown in Fig. 67) buried in the cylindrical bodies. The static magnetic field generating means is magnetized by induction magnetization and the magnetization value is adjusted by controlling the temperatures of the cylindrical bodies by means of the temperature adjusting elements.

摘要： A superconducting magnet device for magnetic resonance imaging, which has an opening wide enough to prevent the examinee from feeling confined and to enable the operator to have easy access to the examinee, wherein magnetic leakage is reduced. The superconducting magnet device is provided with two sets of superconducting coils opposed across a uniform magnetic field are. The return circuit of external magnetic fluxes generated by the superconducting coils is constituted by arranging discoid ferromagnetic bodies and cylindrical ferromagnetic bodies around the superconducting coils and a plurality of columnar ferromagnetic bodies between the facing cylindrical ferromagnetic bodies. Therefore, the magnet device can have an opening wide enough to prevent the examinee from feeling confined and to enable the operator to have easy access to the examinee. This device causes less magnetic leakage while the manufacturing cost is low.

摘要： A superconducting magnet device for an MRI apparatus which has a wide opening where the subject lies so as to eliminate the feeling of being in an enclosed space. The magnetic field leakage, the weight of the device is light and a uniform strong magnetic field is created over a wide area. The static magnetic field generating source of the superconducting magnet device is constituted of two opposed sets of superconducting coil groups positioned on both sides of a uniform magnetic field generating area. Each coil group is composed of a main coil which makes an electric current to flow in a fixed direction, a compensation coil which makes another electic current to flow in the direction opposite to that of the electric current generated by the main coil, and a correction coil which corrects the uniformity of the magnetic field. The diameters of the main and compensation coils are nearly equal to each other and the diameters of the correction coil is smaller than that of the main coil. The quantity of the electric current generated by the correction coil is smaller than that of the electric current generated by the main coil. The distance between the two main coils is shorter than that between the two compensation coils.

摘要： A superconducting magnetic device which corrects a stationary magnetic field in a measuring space by adjusting the flow of magnetic flux, in such a manner as to form one or a plurality of holes through a tabular ferromagnetic body constituting a magnetic shield for converging magnetic fluxes generated from superconductive coils. In the device, a connecting tube which supports two cooling containers for housing the superconducting coils is arranged on the rear side of the vertical center axis (Z axis) of the measuring space so that the coils can easily reach a patient. Further, the magnetic shield has an opening which is wider than a size of the superconductive magnet on its side face so that the superconductive magnet can be installed into the device through the opening after the magnetic shield is assembled.
