    摘要: A magnetic resonance apparatus has an RF antenna unit, a gradient coil unit and an RF shield, the conductor structures of which are independent of one another. The RF shield is arranged between the RF antenna unit and the gradient coil unit, a first RF field return volume is arranged between RF the antenna unit (1, 29, 55A, and the gradient coil unit, the RF field return volume closes RF magnetic field lines of the RF antenna unit and is bordered by the RF shield on the side of the gradient coil unit. The conductor structure of the gradient coil unit occupies a first region. A second conductor-free region is within the first region, on the side facing the RF antenna unit, between a primary gradient coil unit and a secondary shim gradient coil unit of the gradient coil unit. The second conductor-free region is at least partially surrounded by the conductor structure of the gradient coil unit and is fashioned as a second RF field return volume in connection with the first RF field return volume. The RF shield proceeds between the RF field return volumes and the conductor structure of the gradient coil unit. The RF antenna unit is closer to the data acquisition region of the magnetic resonance apparatus than the gradient coil unit.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance system has a primary RF transmitting antenna and at least one secondary RF transmitting antenna. Both antennas generate RF excitation fields in an examination volume. At least one of the primary and secondary transmitting antennas has a control element connected thereto, which allows an amplitude ratio and/or a phase difference of the respective excitation currents in the antennas to be set by a control and evaluation device. The control and evaluation device causes the excitation current in the secondary transmitting antenna to have a smaller amplitude than the excitation current in the primary transmitting antenna, so that the excitation field generated by the secondary transmitting antenna has a smaller spatial extent in the examination volume than the excitation field generated by the primary transmitting antenna.

    摘要: An RF antenna arrangement of a combined MR/PET system is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the RF antenna arrangement includes a first part installed in the examination tunnel in a fashion fixed to the system such that it is arranged underneath the couch board when the latter is introduced, and a second part, which can be placed onto the couch board and be introduced into and withdrawn from the examination tunnel together with the couch board. In at least one embodiment, the second part is of dimensionally stable design and has a clear cross section that is adapted to the object to be examined. Consequently, the time outlay for applying the RF antenna is reduced, and the fixed position of the RF antenna enables a correction of the attenuation of gamma rays.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance antenna has longitudinal antenna rods in a birdcage structure, and antenna ferrules connecting the longitudinal antenna rods at their ends in terms of radio-frequency. The magnetic resonance antenna has a number of radio-frequency switching elements that interrupt, in terms of radio-frequency, at least one part of the longitudinal antenna rod to detune the eigen-resonance frequency of the antenna with respect to an operating magnetic resonance frequency. For this purpose, the magnetic resonance antenna is provided with two switching lines, directed to the radio-frequency switching elements from outside of the birdcage structure, the switching lines having a ring line connected thereto running annularly on or in the birdcage structure and transverse to the longitudinal antenna rods.
