Abstract

A magnet arrangement for a diagnostic magnetic resonance apparatus has an electromagnet arrangement for the production of a homogeneous magnetic field oriented along an axis in an imaging volume. The electromagnet arrangement has first and second windings arranged opposite one another at a distance from one another, transverse to the axis. In relation to the axis, an axial access and a transverse access to the imaging volume are present between the first and second windings.
