Abstract

A magnetic resonance apparatus has a scanner having a basic field magnet, a stationary gradient coil unit, an antenna system for acquisition of magnetic resonance signals, and a second gradient coil unit that can be introduced into an examination chamber of the scanner. The second gradient coil unit is arranged on a displaceable mounting attached outside of the examination chamber. The mounting is fashioned as a C-arm that can be moved along one axis.
