Abstract

The present embodiments relates to a magnetic resonance tomography system having a coil system. The coil system includes an upper part having at least one antenna and a lower part having at least one antenna. The upper part of the coil arrangement is disposed above a bore for receiving an examination subject. The lower part of the coil arrangement is disposed below a field of view of the magnetic resonance tomography system. The lower part of the coil arrangement is closer to the examination subject than the upper part of the coil arrangement.
