Abstract
A magnet assembly for magnetic resonance imaging is used to generate the basic magnetic field with a strength needed to produce the steady state or equilibrium position of nuclei or nuclear spins in magnetic resonance imaging. This magnet, or a part thereof, is vibrated or tilted or otherwise periodically moved so as to change its position and thereby generate a time-varying gradient field, which is used to enter the acquired magnetic resonance signals as raw data into k-space.
