Generally, a system for generating a magnetic field having a desired magnetic field strength and/or a desired magnetic field direction is provided. The system can include a plurality of magnetic segments and/or a plurality of ferromagnetic segments. Each magnetic segment can be positioned adjacent to at least one of the plurality of magnetic segments. Each ferromagnetic segment can be positioned adjacent to at least one of the plurality of magnetic segments. In various embodiments, a size, shape, positioning and/or number of magnetic segments and/or ferromagnetic segments in the system, as well as a magnetization direction of the magnetic segments can be predetermined based on, for example, predetermined parameters of the system (e.g., a desired magnetic field strength, direction and/or uniformity of the magnetic field, a desired elimination of a magnetic fringe field and/or total weight of the system) and/or based on a desired application of the system (e.g., performing a magnetic resonance imaging of at least a portion of a patient and/or performing a magnetic resonance spectroscopy of a sample).

System for generating a magnetic field

A magnetic field device, with a first magnet, a first ferromagnetic element positioned adjacent to the first magnet, a second magnet, a second ferromagnetic element positioned adjacent to the second magnet and relative to the first ferromagnetic element to create a gap between the first ferromagnetic element and the second ferromagnetic element, and a third magnet positioned between the first ferromagnetic element and the second ferromagnetic element and within the gap.

Device, system and method for obtaining a magnetic measurement with permanent magnets

A method for a NMR device to determine NMR measurement results of a sample from a set of RF signals emitted by the sample and received by the NMR device is disclosed. The method can include: receiving a plurality of RF signals emitted by the sample; determining a phase shift of each signal of the plurality of RF signals; correcting a phase of each signal of the plurality of RF signals; determining a frequency shift of each signal of the plurality of RF signals; shifting each signal of the plurality of RF signals to the predetermined; correcting an additional phase shift of each signal of the shifted plurality of RF signals to generate corresponding plurality of corrected RF signals; and averaging the corrected RF signals to determine the NMR measurement result. In some embodiments, the receiving, determining, correcting, shifting and/or averaging is done by the NMR device.

Simultaneously frequency- and phase-shifted NMR signals and improved NMR signal analysis

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system is provided. The MRI system can include a magnetic field device to generate a magnetic field within a measurement volume and to generate a magnetic fringe field external to the measurement volume. The MRI system can include a ferromagnetic housing to envelop the magnetic field device. The housing can have a first portion and a second portion, where thickness of the first portion is different from thickness of the second portion. The MRI system can include a plate having a plate opening and positioned external to the housing at a predetermined distance from the housing. In some embodiments, the magnetic fringe field generated by the MRI system can be asymmetric with respect to a center of the measurement volume.
