Abstract
A cryogen vessel port arrangement for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system has a port for guiding cryogen into a cryogen vessel. The port has a siphon tube, a siphon cone, which is in flow connection with the siphon tube, and a pipe with an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The inlet opening is configured for connecting it with a coldhead sock and the outlet opening is in flow connection with the port and the siphon cone. The port has a port component that has a flow channel with a first opening configured for connecting it with a service siphon, a second opening in flow connection with the siphon cone, and a third opening in flow connection with the outlet opening of the pipe.
