Abstract: In a computerized, automated method to determine the conductor structure of a gradient coil of a magnetic resonance device, the conductor structure is determined depending on the theoretical oscillation response of at least one metallic structure of the magnetic resonance device that is arranged adjacent to the gradient coil at the installation point, with the oscillation response of the metallic structure being determined dependent on theoretical eddy currents generated in the structure by the gradient coil.

Abstract: The method for determination of the design of the basic magnet of a magnetic resonance apparatus with at least one gradient coil system, the design of the basic magnet is determined by taking into consideration forces acting on the at least one gradient coil system that may lead to vibrations of the gradient coil system due to switching processes of the gradient coil system in the field of the basic magnet.

Abstract: In an arrangement with a basic field magnet and with a gradient coil of a magnetic resonance apparatus, the basic field magnet includes superconducting coils that are arranged in a reservoir with liquid helium for cooling. The helium reservoir is surrounded by a further reservoir, designated as an outer vacuum chamber. A vacuum exists between the outer vacuum chamber and the helium reservoir. A cryoshield is arranged between the outer vacuum chamber and the helium reservoir. The gradient coil is arranged in the inner chamber of the basic field magnet. The outer vacuum chamber has an additional coating with a high electrical conductivity.

Abstract: A detector unit for arrangement in a field generating unit of a magnetic resonance device has an RF transmission/reception system for transmitting RF pulses into, or receiving magnetic resonance signals from, an examination volume of the field generation unit. The RF transmission/reception system surrounds a patient tunnel at a radial distance from a tunnel axis thereof, and is divided into two sub-systems located at a distance from each other along the direction of the tunnel axis, so as to form a substantially annular cavity or interstice therebetween.

Abstract: An arrangement for the adjustment of the homogeneity of a basic magnetic field in a magnetic resonance apparatus includes gradient coil support fashioned to support a gradient coil system. The gradient coil support has at least one channel that is fashioned to accommodate an associated shim tray. The shim tray is designed to accommodate ferromagnetic shim elements at predetermined positions in order to adjust the homogeneity of the basic magnetic field of the magnetic resonance apparatus. The shim tray has a first locking element coupled with it. The channel has a second locking element, and the first and second locking element are shaped such that both are positively connected with one another by a force produced by the basic magnetic field of the magnetic resonance apparatus upon activation thereof.
