Abstract: An MRI system (1) comprises a housing (10) defining an examination space (2) for receiving a body for examination, a patient table (3) being displaceable into and out of the examination space (2), a magnetic field generating system (4) for generating a magnetic field in the examination space (2), and an electromagnetic resonance receive system (5) which comprises a set of dedicated receive coils (20). According to the invention at least one dedicated receive coil (20) is fixedly attached to the housing (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a treatment room (7) suitable for recording images of a human or animal body on the basis of a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique, the walls (7a), the ceiling (7b) and the floor (7c) of the treatment room forming an electromagnetic shield for a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system (1) arranged in the treatment room, which MR imaging system comprises at least a target area (5) in which a human or animal body can be placed, a housing (2, 3, 4) comprising at least one main magnetic unit and at least one gradient magnetic unit for generating one or more magnetic fields in the target area (5), and at least one radio-frequency (RF) pulse unit (6) for generating an electromagnetic RF pulse in the target area (5).
