A magnet structure for a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging apparatus
includes at least two opposing magnetic pole pieces, which are located at
a certain distance from each other and delimit an imaging region. The
pole pieces are formed by at least one massive layer of a magnetically
permeable material, and at least one layer of magnetically permeable
material having a pack of superimposed sheets or foils, electrically
insulated from each other. Each of the sheets has cuts arranged over the
surface of the sheet in positions that are at least partly non coincident
with the cuts of at least one, or both adjacent sheets. The magnetically
permeable sheets or foils have a first face and a second face and the
cuts are so arranged on each sheet that the cuts of a sheet or foil are
offset and not coincident with respect to the cuts of an adjacent sheet
or foil, when said adjacent sheet is laid over the previous sheet in an
overturned position, i.e. with the first face turned toward the first
face of the first sheet or with the second face of said adjacent sheet
turned toward the second face of the first sheet.
