Method for conducting magnetic resonance imaging

   
   

Magnet assembly for use in medical magnetic resonance imaging includes means for increasing flux generation in the gap region to provide the capability of scanning smaller volume regions of a patient at increased levels of scanning resolution. The means for increasing flux generation is mechanical or electromagnetic, is coupled to each of the polar regions and maintains the gap region sufficiently large and unobstructed to allow for access to the patient by several persons during scanning. Tapered outer walls of the polar region proximate the gap region further enhance accessibility to the patient during scanning.
