ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging having a magnetic assembly with a main magnet, a shielding system positioned outside the main magnet, and a first and second space for positioning the imaged and non-imaged extremity. Various apparatus with distinct vessels and casings are described with a magnetic assembly and ferromagnetic shielding systems. In yet a further aspect, an apparatus for resonance imaging having additional shim elements for compensating effects from non-axisymmetrical shape of ferromagnetic shielding casing is disclosed. Additionally, an apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging is described having a dedicated space outside the imaging region and where the dedicated space has support element for resting non-image extremity as part of the structure of the imager.
