Abstract:
1. A magnetic resonance tomograph, comprising: a base field magnet; a whole body gradient coil system having a high frequency antenna surrounded by an axle tube limiting an internal space, the axle tube having a first and a second axle tube end; a guide rail arranged within the internal space permitting the movement of a patient support into the internal space from a face side of the first axle tube end and permitting the movement of an insert-gradient coil into the internal space from a face side of the second axle tube end using the guide rail, the insert-gradient coil having a first coupling element comprising a bundled plug connection fixed to the insert-gradient coil; and a supply line arranged within the internal space that enables the insert-gradient coil to be fed into the internal space, the supply line also having a second coupling element wherein the second coupling element also has a bundled plug connection fixed to the supply line configured to mate the first coupling element, and wherein the insert-gradient coil is supplied with both electricity and water via the supply line after the insert-gradient coil is inserted into the internal space using a bundled detachable coupling comprised of the first and second coupling elements.
