Magnet structure, particularly for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging machines

摘要

A magnet structure, particularly for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging machines, and of the type comprising a bearing structure for means for generating magnetic fields inside a volume defined by the structure, is made to be modular at least for the three parts of the bearing structure, and at least for the parts of the other construction elements, wherein positioning means are formed by coincident grooves on the upper and lower edge of the perpendicular plate of the bearing structure and on the plane contact sides of the mutually parallel surfaces of the parallel plates, which grooves are oriented parallel to the plane of the third plate and centering bars having complementary cross sections to each pair of the said coincident grooves are held in each of the said couple of coincident grooves and the grooves so that the two parallel plates are adjustable with respect to the perpendicular plate along a direction lying in the plane of the said perpendicular plate.
