Abstract
In a diagnostic magnetic resonance apparatus having a housing in which a patient is disposed for conducting a magnetic resonance examination, a cable is provided for connecting the antenna which receives the high-frequency magnetic resonance signals and forwards those signals to the processing electronics. One end of the cable is guided into the housing which surrounds the patient, and an opposite end of the cable is connected to the antenna by a plug-type connector. A part of the plug-type connector at the cable side contains at least one pre-amplifier for amplifying the received magnetic resonance signals.
