  • Noise reduction arrangement for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus
    Patent number: 6107799
    Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus has a magnet assembly with a first surface and a gradient coil assembly with a second surface, with an annular gap between these surfaces. A noise-reduction arrangement for damping the oscillations of the gradient coil assembly and/or for stiffening the gradient coil assembly is disposed in this gap in contact with the first and second surfaces. The noise-reducing arrangement can be composed of one or more components, and has contact surfaces, formed by one or more components, respectively in substantially surface-wide contact with the first and second surfaces of the tomography apparatus.
