Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a light weight very low temperature cryostat to endure the severe electromagnetic force and heat, by a method wherein two separated circular superconductive magnet cryostats connected by axial directional spacer contain a main magnet coil generating powerful image making magnetic field in the vertical patient approaching gap between the cryostats. SOLUTION: A superconductive magnet system 10 is provided with a pair of toroidal type or doughnut type circular cryostats 1, 2, which are separated by stainless steel spacers 3 extending in the direction of four each of axes arranged in parallel with the axial line 5 around the axial line 5 of almost cylindrical image making central hole. In such a constitution, the whole structure forms an almost opened space 11 between the circular cryostats 1, 2 to make some medical practicians approach to the space 11. Furthermore, the main magnet coil and an abutting coil provided in respective circular cryostats 1 and 2 are wound around rectangular sectional space or circular ditch in respective magnet coil bobbins.
