MAGNETIC RESONANCE APPARATUS WITH A SUPERCONDUCTING BASIC FIELD MAGNET WITH AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE COATING ON THE OUTER VACUUM CHAMBER

摘要

In an arrangement with a basic field magnet and with a gradient coil of a magnetic resonance apparatus, the basic field magnet includes superconducting coils that are arranged in a reservoir with liquid helium for cooling. The helium reservoir is surrounded by a further reservoir, designated as an outer vacuum chamber. A vacuum exists between the outer vacuum chamber and the helium reservoir. A cryoshield is arranged between the outer vacuum chamber and the helium reservoir. The gradient coil is arranged in the inner chamber of the basic field magnet. The outer vacuum chamber has an additional coating with a high electrical conductivity.
