Patent ID: 7235974

Claim:
A magnetic resonance system comprising: a magnetic resonance scanner having an examination volume adapted to receive an examination subject therein, said examination volume having a longitudinal extent with a central axis proceeding through said longitudinal extent of said examination volume; a radio frequency transmission antenna disposed at relative to said examination volume to emit radio frequency energy into the examination volume, said radio frequency transmission antenna having a resonant structure having an inner side facing said central axis, said inner side comprising inner edges proceeding around said central axis, said inner edges forming a capacitively-bridged annular gap disposed parallel to said central axis; a gradient coil in which said radio frequency transmission antenna is embedded, said gradient coil outwardly and radially surrounding said radio frequency transmission antenna, and said gradient coil having inner sides facing said examination volume, said inner edges of said radio frequency transmission antenna being electrically connected to said inner sides of said gradient coil; and a plurality of individual conductors disposed parallel to said central axis and being disposed radially inwardly relative to said annular gap, said individual conductors extending axially so that each completely across said angular gap and at least partially extends over and is spaced from the inner sides of the gradient coil.
