Abstract:
    A resistive magnet is provided having a cylindrical radio frequency/gradient coil assembly. A first and second cylindrically shaped main coil is situated coaxially on either side of the radio frequency/gradient coil assembly with the radio frequency/gradient coil assembly and the first and second main coils having the same inside diameter defining a magnet bore. A cylindrical correction assembly coil surrounds the radio frequency/gradient coil assembly. Means for securing the first and second main coil to the cylindrical correction assembly is provided. The radio frequency/gradient assembly provides axial support for the first and second main coil assembly. For additional cylindrical main coils surround the correction coil.
