Abstract
A device for installing a gradient coil into a magnet of a magnetic resonance system has a frame with a coil carrier passing through the gradient coil and accommodating the gradient coil. The coil carrier is arranged on two lateral supports, upon which the frame stands on the base, with devices for generating an air cushion that carries the frame being provided on the supports.
Claims18
A device for installing a gradient coil into a magnet of a magnetic resonance system, said device comprising:
- a base;
- a frame comprising two lateral supports each having a bottom surface on which said frame rests on said base, and a coil carrier supported by said two lateral supports, said coil carrier being configured to pass through and accommodate a gradient coil;
- and
