Abstract
A mounting device for a local gradient coil unit for mounting same in the examination area of a magnetic resonance unit has one or more guide rails, which are able to be arranged in the examination area, supporting the gradient coil unit, with a locator structure for positioning the gradient coil unit axially on both sides in a mounting position in the examination area, along which guide rail(s) the gradient coil unit slides until it reaches the axial mounting position. One or more fixing elements are fitted on the gradient coil unit for bracing the gradient coil unit in the examination area against the guide rail(s) in the mounting position.
Claims14
A mounting device for mounting a local gradient coil unit in an examination area of a magnetic resonance unit comprising:
- at least one guide rail disposed in said examination area configured to movably support a gradient coil unit thereon;
- said at least one guide rail comprising a locator structure that locates said local gradient coil unit axially at both sides thereof in a mounting position in the examination area, said local gradient coil unit being slidable along said at least one guide rail until reaching said locator structure in said mounting position;
- and
- at least one fixing element disposed on said gradient coil unit that braces said gradient coil unit in said examination area against said at least one guide rail in said mounting position.
