Abstract:
1. A medical MRI apparatus with a bore provided with a patient table having an elongated patient carrier in the longitudinal direction that coincides with the direction of the stationary magnetic field B in the imaging volume of the MRI apparatus when the patient carrier is placed within the bore of the MRI apparatus, the medical MRI apparatus including: at least one device cable configured for low-frequency electric conduction, which device cable comprises mutually separated segments which are each shorter than a predetermined value, and wherein the segments are separated from each other by frequency-dependent separation elements forming a conductor of low-frequency currents and an insulator of radio-frequency alternating current, the device cable being rigidly connected throughout its length to the patient carrier in the longitudinal direction of the patient carrier, the device cable being configured in order to enable free selective interconnection entirely along the length of the device cable with an associated device also located within the bore of the MRI apparatus.
