Abstract

A magnetic resonance system with a patient bearing table with an interchangeable-panel receiving mechanism, which table can be used as an operating table. The patient bearing table is mounted at an operating column, which is arranged in front of an insertion end of the magnetic resonance apparatus, such that this table can be swivelled about a vertical axis of rotation.
