Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging magnet assembly (100) comprising: —a magnet (102) adapted for generating a main magnetic field for aligning the magnetic spins of nuclei of a subject (502) located within an imaging volume (504); and —a gradient coil (103) for generating a gradient magnetic field for spatial encoding of the magnetic resonance signal of spins of nuclei within the imaging volume, wherein the gradient coil is adapted to be mounted into the magnet, wherein the gradient coil comprises: —a first gradient coil section (112), wherein the first gradient coil section comprises a first rigid element (113), —a second gradient coil section (114), wherein the second gradient coil section also comprises a second rigid element (115), —a connecting element (116, 300, 302, 304, 400) for joining the two half gradient coils, wherein the connecting element comprises an elastic material (116), wherein the elastic material is in contact with the first rigid element and the second rigid element.
