Abstract

A whole-body coil arrangement for an open magnetic resonance scanner for use with a second diagnostic and/or therapeutic modality is proposed. The whole-body coil arrangement includes at least one coil conductor and a radio-frequency shield. The whole-body coil arrangement is embodied at least in part as essentially transparent to the second modality.
