Abstract

An optimization of a magnetic resonance apparatus is achieved by a device and a method to generate a gradient field in a magnetic resonance apparatus, wherein a field directed in a first direction is generated by a first flat/saddle coil cooling system, a field directed in an additional direction is generated by an additional flat/saddle coil cooling system, and wherein a gradient field pointing in a direction is composed of at least the field generated by the first flat/saddle coil cooling system and the field generated by the additional flat/saddle coil cooling system.
