An open magnetic structure comprising a conical permanent magnetic structure that generates an MRI imaging field around the body part of a patient in a cavity of the structure. The permanent magnetic sections include a recess over the cavity, with the surface of the structure bounding the recess following a cone angle of the conical permanent magnetic structure. The structure can be configured sufficiently large to accommodate a full patient body.
