Abstract
A cylindrical magnet assembly for use in magnetic resonance imaging apparatus has a radially compact construction which eliminates prior manufacturing steps. Recesses are formed in insulation layers for receiving complimentary shaped bus bars. Because the bus bars are dimensioned to fit flush within the recesses, they do not add to the radial growth of the magnet assembly.
