Zusammenfassung:A superconducting magnet support structure and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The superconducting magnet support structure having a solid body comprises an exterior side, an interior portion, and an interior side. The superconducting magnet support structure is formed by performing a wet winding process thereby winding fiber cloth onto a preformed support tooling, curing the fiber cloth, and removing the preformed support tooling from the superconducting magnet support structure. The method of fabricating the superconducting magnet support structure of the present invention provides versatility allowing it to be applied to various MRI systems with varying superconducting magnet dimensions and geometries.
