Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging magnet including a superconducting gradient shield positioned around the gradient coil and contiguous to the cryogen vessel, with the gradient shield being selectively placed in superconducting operation to shield the magnet coils and structures from the magnetic fields generated by firing the imaging gradient coil positioned within the bore of the magnetic resonance imaging magnet. A plurality of thermally conductive members are compressed between the cryogen vessel and the gradient shield.
