9. A gradient magnetic coil unit comprising:
a plurality of conducting line members wound in a predetermined winding pattern for each of coral gradient coils;
a first resin material filling gaps between individual ones of the plurality of gradient coils; and
a second resin material, which has higher thermal conductivity than that of the first resin material, said second resin material filling interstitial gaps formed between individual conducting line members of each set gradient coil.
