A 14 T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet is designed with Bi2223 high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire. Owing to the large critical current and large critical tensile strength of the wire type HT-NX at ultra-high field, the magnet is optimized in a compact shape with length of 1.9 m and outer diameter of 1.3 m. It is in the form of stacked double pancakes (DPs) with total wire consumption of 455 km. The DPs with various inner and outer radii enable the electromagnetic…
