a, Schematic of the magnet showing the main coil and the two actively shielding coils. The magnet weighs 132 tons, has an outer diameter and total length of just under 5 m and the bore diameter is 90 cm. b, Cross-section of the wire used for the magnet showing the packing of the ten strands of NbTi-Cu wire within a copper channel. c, General view of the Iseult MRI inside the NeuroSpin building: (1) magnet (2), Faraday cages, (3) satellite, (4) dump resistor, (5) magnet control command and power convertor, (6) Siemens Healthineers MRI equipment, (7) helium liquefier, (8) helium pumps, (9) compressors and (10) helium balloon. d, Left: initial installation of the magnet within a dedicated arch (10 m in diameter) at NeuroSpin. Right: current side view of the magnet within the arch, extending above the ceiling and under the floor of the patient side room, going all the way in the back of the arch.
