Abstract
A magnetic resonance tomography unit includes a patient tunnel and a gradient coil. A first holding structure holds the patient tunnel in an application-appropriate relative position to the magnetic resonance tomography unit, while a second holding structure holds the gradient coil. The first holding structure and the second holding structure have no vibration-transmitting mechanical coupling.
Claims6
A magnetic resonance tomography unit comprising:
- a patient tunnel comprising a first holding structure configured so as to arrange the patient tunnel in a first application-appropriate relative position to the magnetic resonance tomography unit, wherein the first holding structure is attached directly to a mounting platform and is not mechanically connected to the magnetic resonance tomography unit such that the patient tunnel has no vibration-transmitting mechanical coupling to the magnetic resonance tomography unit;
- and
- a gradient coil comprising a second holding structure configured so as to arrange the gradient coil in a second application-appropriate relative position to the magnetic resonance tomography unit;
- wherein the first holding structure and the second holding structure have no vibration-transmitting mechanical coupling to each other;
- wherein the first holding structure and/or the second holding structure includes a position adjustment apparatus comprising at least one or more screws that provide a length adjustment for a position of the first holding structure and/or second holding structure, wherein a change in a position of the patient tunnel or the gradient coil is performed without irreversibly deforming a respective holding structure.
