Abstract
In a magnetic resonance apparatus having a magnet arrangement which generates: a basic magnetic field in a horizontal direction, an imaging volume with a central region that is freely accessible in at least one horizontal direction substantially orthogonal to the basic magnetic field, upper and lower elements that are spaced apart in a vertical direction and between which the imaging volume is disposed, and a connector element that connects the upper and the lower elements, at least one gradient coil is provided which extends at least in regions of the upper element, the lower element and the connector element.
Claims18
A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising:
- a magnet arrangement which generates a basic magnetic field in a horizontal direction;
- an upper element and a lower element spaced from each other in a vertical direction;
- a connector element connecting said upper element and said lower element;
- an imaging volume disposed between said upper element and said lower element and having a central region accessible at least in one horizontal direction substantially orthogonal to said horizontal direction of said basic magnetic field;
- and
- at least one gradient coil extending at least in regions of said upper element, said lower element and said connector element.
