Abstract
A superconducting magnet is provided for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or spectroscopy (MRS). The magnet has a plurality of discrete Niobium-Titanium superconductor coils arranged longitudinally along a common central axis, the Niobium-Titanium superconductor coils generating a first magnetic field when in use, the first magnetic field having high field regions of at least 5 Tesla radially inward of the discrete coils. At least two Niobium-Tin superconductor coils are located along the common central axis, each of which is located in a said high field region of the first magnetic field, the Niobium-Tin superconductor coils each generating a respective second magnetic field when in use, which combines with the first magnetic field to produce a resultant magnetic field which is of higher field strength than that of the first magnetic field at a location on the common central axis. The magnet is arranged to have a radial separation between each Niobium-Tin coil and the closest Niobium-Titanium coil to the respective Niobium-Tin coil, and there is an axial bore through the coils having a diameter of at least 150 mm.
