Abstract:
1. A magnetic resonance system comprising: a magnetic resonance scanner having an examination tunnel; a transport element adapted to receive an examination subject thereon, said transport element being movable into and out of said examination tunnel; an antenna arrangement in said scanner at least partially surrounding said examination tunnel for exciting magnetic resonance signals in, and receiving said magnetic resonance signals from, the examination subject when in the examination tunnel on the transport element; an auxiliary arrangement disposed in said examination tunnel and forming an auxiliary tunnel parallel to said examination tunnel into and from which the examination subject is movable by said transport element; said auxiliary arrangement having an internal antenna arrangement at least partially surrounding said auxiliary tunnel and with which at least said magnetic resonance signals can be received; and said auxiliary arrangement having an outer circumferential surface with an elastically yielding layer on said outer circumferential surface disposed for mechanically interacting with said examination tunnel.
