Abstract
A technique is provided for manufacturing a support structure for a source of magnetic field in a magnetic resonance imaging system. The technique includes assembling a plurality of layers of a material permeable to magnetic field to form a first support structure, assembling a plurality of layers of a material permeable to magnetic field to form a second support structure, providing at least one of a plate and a post made of a material permeable to magnetic field to form a third support structure, and assembling the first support structure, the second support structure and the third support structure. The first support structure is associated with the second support structure through the third support structure.
