Patent References 2272766 3237059 Variable strength beam line multipole permanent magnets and methods for their use Method of NMR imaging which overcomes T2 * effects in an inhomogeneous static magnetic field NMR Imaging apparatus Patent #: 4498048 InventorsApplicationNo. 06/715709 filed on 03/25/1985US Classes:335/302, Permanent magnets335/306Plural magnetsExaminersPrimary: Harris, GeorgeAttorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH01F 7/02 (20060101)AbstractA permanent magnet assembly for use in magnetic resonance imagers requires a minimum of permanent magnet material. The magnets are arranged with a radial direction of magnetization and an iron return path is used. The specific configurations of the permanent magnets provide highly uniform magnetic fields in the bore of the assembly. | |
