A vertical field type MRI apparatus is provided with a superconducting coil system for generating a substantially homogeneous magnetic field in an imaging volume of the apparatus. The coil system includes a circular outer coil and a supplementary coil which is positioned in the same plane as and within the outer coil, which coils conduct opposite currents. The ratio D.sub.a /D.sub.o of the diameter D.sub.a of the supplementary coil to the diameter D.sub.o of the outer coil lies between 0.7 and 0.9. Further coils for making the field more homogeneous are preferably located on a conical surface within the circular outer coil and supplementary coil in such a manner that a recess is formed in which a conically shaped gradient coil system can be accommodated, with the result that the expensive outer coil and the supplementary coil can be arranged at an as short as possible distance from the space for receiving the patient to be examined.

Un tipo de campo vertical aparato de MRI se proporciona un sistema superconducting de la bobina para generar un campo magnético substancialmente homogéneo en un volumen de la proyección de imagen del aparato. El sistema de la bobina incluye una bobina externa circular y una bobina suplementaria que se coloque en el mismo plano que y dentro de la bobina externa, que arrolla conducta enfrente de corrientes. El cociente D.sub.a /D.sub.o del diámetro D.sub.a de la bobina suplementaria al diámetro D.sub.o de la bobina externa miente entre 0.7 y 0.9. Otras bobinas para hacer el campo más homogéneo se establecen preferiblemente en una superficie cónica dentro de la bobina externa circular y de la bobina suplementaria de manera que una hendidura esté formada en la cual un sistema cónicamente formado de la bobina del gradiente puede ser acomodado, con el resultado que la bobina externa costosa y la bobina suplementaria se pueden arreglar en un tan corto como distancia posible del espacio para recibir al paciente que se examinará.
