Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most useful tools for medical diagnosis around the world. It is applied in diagnosis and treatment of many types of cancer, soft tissue injuries, in-vivo brain experiments and studies with drugs. Despite its development since the 70s [1], MRI still has to deal with problems that affect directly the sensitivity of the signal and the spatial resolution of the image. Some of these problems are related to the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance phenomenon in solid-state samples [2], and others come from the MRI technique itself [3]. Our work is focused on the development of a novel design of MRI magnet able to mitigate the spatial resolution problems in MRI experiments.
