Abstract

Magnetic resonance device comprising a preferably essentially cylindrical vacuum housing containing a magnet together with a cooling device, said vacuum housing having an inner wall, an outer wall and two end walls, the inner wall and/or one or each end wall being fashioned as a composite component consisting of one or more components made of a non-metallic composite material and a plurality of metal components serving to provide mechanical reinforcement and having a lamellar or annular form for forming the inner wall or having the form of a segment of a circle for forming an end wall such that a reduction in eddy currents is produced.
