System and method for magnetic resonance coil arrangement

A delta relaxation magnetic resonance imaging (DREMR) system comprising:

• a main field magnet generating a main magnetic field at an imaging volume;
• and
• an integrated magnet device placed within the bore of the main magnet, the integrated magnet device comprising:
• field-shifting electromagnets including primary field-shifting magnets and field-shifting shield magnets, the primary field shifting magnets placed closer to an imaging volume than the field-shifting shield magnets;
• and
• gradient coils placed between the primary field-shifting magnets and field-shifting shield magnets;
• at least one substrate layer providing mechanical support for the field-shifting electromagnets and the gradient coils;
• and
• at least one cooling mechanism;
