Abstract

An MR imaging system with an electrically insulated coil element includes at least one first coil element which is electrically connected to an electronic unit and at least one electrically completely insulated second coil element which is magnetically coupled to the first coil element. Operative interventions in a region to be examined are possible through a free access area. The sterility that is necessary during operations is ensured by a device for shielding from germs.
