Patent number: 4673881Abstract: The magnetic apparatus of a nuclear spin tomography system contains several magnet coils which are surrounded by an approximately hollow-cylindrical shielding device of ferromagnetic material. At each end face, this shielding device has a disc-shaped plate with a central opening. Four beam-like shielding elements of identical design having triangular or trapezoidal cross section, arranged distributed in the circumferential direction regularly on a common cylinder surface, extend between these plates at the end faces. With this magnetic apparatus, field distortions caused in the useful volume by the four beam-like shielding elements are substantially reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1985Date of Patent: June 16, 1987Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gunther Ries, Karl-Georg Heinzelmann
