Abstract

A carrier structure (2) of an arrangement (1) for modifying a main magnetic field generated in a magnetic resonance tomograph from multiple carrier elements (3, 37). A conductor arrangement (4) is respectively arranged on each carrier element (3, 37). The conductor arrangements (4) respectively include a primary conductor arrangement (6) for generating a primary magnetic field that modifies the main magnetic field and a secondary conductor arrangement (7) for shielding the primary magnetic field. A method for producing a modularly constructible arrangement (1) is provided, which can be used for example for spatial encoding.
