摘要:
A magnetic resonance scanner has a base, a C-arm mounted on said base, the C-arm having an inner surface curved in a C-shape, the C-shape defining a plane, a magnet mounted on said inner curved surface of said C-arm, the magnet generating a basic magnetic field for magnetic resonance imaging, and a drive mechanism mechanically connected to the magnet. The drive mechanism rotates the magnet around an axis that is orthogonal to said plane so as to selectively position said magnet in at least two magnet positions that are respectively above and beneath a patient, who is situated in the C-arm along or parallel to the axis.
