A magnetic resonance imaging system is provided in which the two
contradictory requirements, i.e., enhancing the feeling of being not
confined by enlarging the subject-insertion space and decreasing
magnetomotive force of the superconductive coils by bringing the
superconductive coils as close as possible to a subject, can be met in a
good balance.In a magnetic resonance imaging system that includes a
superconductive electromagnetic device for generating a static magnetic
field to be applied to a subject, a gradient-magnetic-field coil for
forming a gradient magnetic field by tilting the magnetic-field strength
of the static magnetic field, and a radio-frequency coil for transmitting
a radio-frequency magnetic field to the subject and then receiving
nuclear magnetic-resonance signals from the subject, a vacuum container
for the superconductive electromagnetic device thereof has a recess; the
gradient-magnetic-field coil and the radio-frequency coil thereof are
accommodated in the recess; and a cosmetic cover that is fit into the
recess and is supported by the wall surfaces of the recess is included
therein.
