Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for providing a B0 magnetic field for a magnetic resonance imaging system. The apparatus includes at least one permanent B0 magnet to contribute a magnetic field to the B0 magnetic field for the MRI system and a ferromagnetic frame configured to capture and direct at least some of the magnetic field generated by the B0 magnet. The ferromagnetic frame includes a first plate configured to support the at least one permanent B0 magnet and a first post attached to the first plate using a first connection assembly, wherein the first connection assembly includes a first connector that connects the first post and the first plate and a second connector attached to the first connector.
