Abstract
A magnet arrangement for a diagnostic magnetic resonance apparatus has an electromagnet arrangement for the production of a homogeneous magnetic field oriented along an axis in an imaging volume. The electromagnet arrangement has first and second windings arranged opposite one another at a distance from one another, transverse to the axis. In relation to the axis, an axial access and a transverse access to the imaging volume are present between the first and second windings.
Claims17
A magnet arrangement for a diagnostic magnetic resonance apparatus comprising:
- electromagnet means for producing a homogenous magnetic field oriented along an axis in an imaging volume;
- and
- said electromagnet means comprising first and second windings each curved around said axis and disposed opposite from each other and at a distance from each other transverse to said axis, said first and second windings being oriented for defining an axial access to said imaging volume relative to said axis and a transverse access to said imaging volume relative to said axis.
A magnet arrangement as claimed 10 wherein a first number said first coils and second are respectively disposed in a plurality of planes oriented substantially perpendicularly to said horizontal axis.
