Patent ID: 7098661

Claim:
A magnetic resonance device, comprising: a base field magnet having a cavity circumscribed by an electrically conductive boundary surface of the base field magnet; a gradient coil system arranged in the cavity, the gradient coil system including a first and a second unit arranged at a spaced apart distance; a high frequency shield individually enclosing the first and second units, the high frequency shield arranged adjacent to the boundary surface to allow a short circuit for high frequencies from the high frequency shield to the boundary surface so that the boundary surface is adapted to carry a high frequency return current flow; and a high frequency antenna, wherein parts of the high frequency antenna connect the high frequency shield individually enclosing the first unit to the high frequency shield individually enclosing the second unit so that a part of the high frequency shield forms a part of a current path for the high frequency antenna, the parts of the high frequency antenna allowing a short circuit for high frequencies between the high frequency shield individually enclosing the first unit and the high frequency shield individually enclosing the second unit.
