Magnetic structure for MRI machines and MRI machine particularly for orthopedic or rheumatologic applications

摘要

Magnetic structure for MRI machines, which machine has a U-shaped or O-shaped geometry having two opposite poles for generating a magnetic field there between, the poles being arranged at a predetermined distance one with respect to the other by a magnetic yoke (4) having an inverted U shape or an O shape, which poles and at least a part of which yoke delimit a cavity for housing at least a part of a patient body.The invention relates also to a machine for detecting MRI images particularly of the anatomical region of the hand or the foot or part of joints and which machine has a magnetic structure of the type described above.
