Abstract:
Provided are a magnetic resonance imaging device and a superconducting magnet capable of preventing generation of eddy currents accompanying vibration of a radiation shield and of reducing image quality deterioration. The superconducting magnet for a magnetic resonance imaging device includes a substantially cylindrical vacuum vessel, a substantially cylindrical radiation shield that is provided inside the vacuum vessel, and a superconducting coil that is provided inside the radiation shield. The radiation shield has an inner cylinder located radially inward of the superconducting coil. The inner cylinder of the radiation shield is provided with an annular rib formed in a circumferential direction about the central axis of the inner cylinder.
