Abstract

A magnetic resonance device is proposed. The device has a magnet unit having a cylindrical radio frequency coil unit, a cylindrical accommodation area for accommodating a patient, and a housing unit surrounding the magnet unit with at least one housing shell unit. The radio frequency coil unit cylindrically surrounds the accommodation area. The housing shell unit is disposed between the accommodation area and the radio frequency coil unit. The at least one housing shell unit is constituted at least partially by a flexible spring/mass unit.
