Compact magnets for magnetic resonance

Abstract

Abstract This article provides an introduction to magnetic material properties and an overview of compact permanent magnet designs. The descriptions are focused on portable magnetic resonance instruments, including in‐magnet and open configurations. A few examples are presented for spectroscopy as well as for space‐resolved and relaxation measurements. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Concepts Magn Reson Part A 34A: 48–59, 2009.
