    摘要: A pair of annular magnets (10) generate a vertical magnetic flux field through an imaging volume (12) . The flux is focussed by a pair of Rose rings (26) of high cobalt steel. A high order shim set includes a plurality of permanently magnetized or magnetized iron rings (32a, 32b, 32c, 32d) which cooperatively interact with the magnet assembly to optimize the homogeneity of the magnetic flux through the imaging volume. One of the permanent magnetic rings (32d) , is mounted with an opposite polarity relative to the others. The magnetized rings are mounted in a non-ferrous, electrically insulating support structure (34) such that gradient coils (50) can be positioned behind the permanent magnet rings. A flux return path (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24) provides a low flux resistant path from adjacent the Rose ring at one side of the imaging volume remotely around the imaging volume to a position adjacent the Rose ring at the other side of the imaging volume.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging suite is sheathed with plates ( 32, 34, 36 ) of iron or other ferrous material. The plates define projections ( 42, 44 ) in alignment with each other on opposite ceiling and floor or wall surfaces. A pair of magnetic pole pieces ( 10, 10' ) are surrounded by superconducting electromagnetic coils ( 12, 12' ). The pole pieces are positioned between the ferrous plates in axial alignment. When current flows through the electromagnetic coils, magnetic flux flows between the pole pieces. The ferrous wall sheathing or other ferrous constructions define a flux return path. The pole pieces are magnetically attracted toward each other and are each magnetically mirrored in and attracted toward the adjacent ferrous flux return path. The pole pieces are positioned relative to each other and the ferrous flux return path such that the attraction between the pole pieces is balanced by the attraction between each pole piece and its magnetically mirrored image in the adjacent ferrous material of the flux return path. Optionally, the magnets are selectively extinguished and one or both pole pieces are moved for better access to the patient.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus ( 10 ) includes a couch ( 54 ) for supporting a region of interest of a subject ( 44 ) being examined in an examination region. In one form, a main magnet for generating a substantially uniform temporally constant main magnetic field through the examination region includes a stationary pole piece ( 24 ), a movable pole piece ( 22 ), a ferrous flux return path ( 26 ), and a magnetic flux generator that selectively generates magnetic flux that flows between the pole pieces ( 22, 24 ) through the examination region and through the ferrous flux return path ( 26 ) which connects the pole pieces ( 22, 24 ). The stationary pole piece ( 24 ) is arranged adjacent a first side of the examination region. The movable pole piece ( 22 ) is arranged to be selectively moved between a first position adjacent a second side of the examination region opposite the stationary pole piece ( 24 ) so that the stationary and movable pole pieces ( 24, 22 ) define the examination region therebetween, and a second position remote from the examination region. In other forms, the entire magnet is movable away from the examination region.
