  • Patent number: 7723986
    Abstract: An installation for investigating objects (10a) using magnetic resonance comprising a safety room (1) which has gastight walls (1a-c) and having a magnet system (9) for producing a homogenous magnetic field in an investigational volume (13), the magnet system (9) comprising a gastight outer shell (19) which is penetrated in a shell region (29) by feed-throughs (39a-d) into the interior of the magnet system (9), is characterized in that the magnet system (9) is arranged in the safety room (1), and one of the gastight walls (1a-c) is penetrated in an access region (1e), wherein a gastight connecting element (14) is present between the access region (1e) and the shell region (29) which, at its ends, is connected in a gastight manner to the gastight wall and the gastight outer shell (19) respectively, so that access from outside the safety room (1) is available to the shell region (29) and the feed-throughs there (39a-d), that access being sealed in a gastight manner with respect to the safety room (1).

  • Patent number: 7167001
    Abstract: An installation for the investigation of objects by means of magnetic resonance has a magnet system for the production of a homogenous magnetic field in an investigational volume and is characterized in that the magnet system is disposed in a magnet room and the investigational volume, in a first operational mode of the installation, is disposed in a safety room which is decoupled in a gas-tight fashion from the magnet room. The installation in accordance with the invention facilitates the investigation of contaminated objects by means of magnetic resonance, wherein the measurement apparatus is not contaminated and simultaneously allows for simple maintenance of the system external to the safety room as well as a simple positioning of the object under investigation.
