（ｊ）の間に、液体窒素槽（２）からの熱伝導によって
冷却される熱シールド板（３）を設けていた。In conventional cryostats, in order to reduce the amount of liquid helium consumed, a heat shield plate is installed between the liquid helium tank (ff) and the vacuum tank inner cylinder (j), which is cooled by heat conduction from the liquid nitrogen tank (2).

余計に必要であった。また、渦電流損失により熱シール
ド板（、？）の温度が上がり、充分な熱シールド効果が
得られないなどの問題点があった。In the conventional cryostat described above, copper is used for the heat shield plate (3), so the gradient magnetic field coil (7)
During operation, the eddy current induced in the heat shield plate (3) is large, and during imaging, the output of the gradient magnetic field coil (RI) is required to compensate for the magnetic field caused by the eddy current. Ta. In addition, there was a problem that the temperature of the heat shield plate (?) rose due to eddy current loss, making it impossible to obtain a sufficient heat shield effect.
この発明は上記のような問題点を解消するため罠なされ

イオスタットを得ることを目的とする。This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to reduce the output required for the gradient magnetic field coil as much as possible, and to obtain a cryostat having a sufficient heat shielding effect.

分だけ傾斜磁場コイル（７）の出力を減らすことができ
る。With the above configuration, when the inclined doffing coil (7) is in operation, an eddy current is induced in the stainless steel heat shield plate (3a), but in the case of stainless steel, the electrical resistance is about 1000 times that of copper. Therefore, the output of the gradient magnetic field coil (7) can be reduced by the amount by which the magnetic field output is corrected.

θ, and cooling by heat conduction from the liquid nitrogen tank (q) cannot provide a sufficient heat shielding effect, but a pipe (q) is installed along the surface of the stainless steel heat shield plate (3), and the internal Cool the heat shield plate (3a) by flowing liquid nitrogen supplied from the liquid nitrogen tank (=) to
It can enhance the heat shielding effect.
