Patent ID: 7622927

Claim:
A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising: a magnetic resonance scanner having an examination region therein configured to accommodate an examination subject in order to obtain magnetic resonance data from the subject; said magnetic resonance scanner comprising an antenna arrangement that surrounds the examination region, said antenna arrangement comprising at least one antenna element that emits a radio-frequency signal into the examination region; said magnetic resonance scanner comprising a primary gradient coil having primary gradient coil windings that at least partially encompass the antenna arrangement and the examination region; said magnetic resonance scanner comprising a secondary gradient coil having a secondary gradient coil windings that at least partially encompass the primary gradient coil windings, the antenna arrangement and the examination region, the secondary gradient coil windings and the primary gradient coil windings being spaced at a distance from each other; at least one amplifier having an amplifier input supplied with a radio-frequency input signal that amplifies said input signal in order to produce a radio-frequency output signal at an amplifier output of the amplifier; said antenna arrangement having a feed point connected to said amplifier output, at which said amplified radio-frequency signal is supplied to the antenna arrangement and emitted from said antenna arrangement into the examination region; and said at least one amplifier being disposed in said magnetic resonance scanner within said distance between said primary gradient coil windings and said secondary gradient coil windings.
