Abstract
A magnetic field generator assembly includes a plurality of magnetic elements configured to collectively generate a magnetic field sufficient for diagnostic data acquisition and a non-magnetizable pane operationally connected to limit separation of one magnetic element from another magnetic element. Accordingly, the multi-element magnetic field generator is efficiently secured against deterioration often associated with prolonged exposure to high order magnetic fields.
