SYSTEMS
Zvi Kamil, Tel Aviv, Israel assigned to Elscint Ltd
magnetic field within the magnet interior is disclosed. The permanent magnet is constructed of material which has essentially linear behavior in the second quadrant of the B-H curve. The invention includes a method of tuning a segmented permanent ring magnet and a method of manufacture for the blocks of magnetic material which make up the magnet. The magnets of the present invention are particularly adapted for use as bias magnets in NMR imaging systems.

Improved cryogenic magnet systems for use in NMR imaging devices comprising an electromagnet immersed in a first tank containing a first liquid gas, the hrst tank located in a container evacuated to a high vacuum, a refrigerating system external to said container, and coupling means for coupling a cold head of the refrigerating system to radiation shielding means surrounding said first tank for lowering the temperature of the shielding means to thereby reduce boil-off of said liquid gas.
