Abstract

The magnetic apparatus of a nuclear spin tomography system contains several magnet coils which are surrounded by an approximately hollow-cylindrical shielding device of ferromagnetic material. At each end face, this shielding device has a disc-shaped plate with a central opening. Four beam-like shielding elements of identical design having triangular or trapezoidal cross section, arranged distributed in the circumferential direction regularly on a common cylinder surface, extend between these plates at the end faces. With this magnetic apparatus, field distortions caused in the useful volume by the four beam-like shielding elements are substantially reduced. Each shielding element is extended in the outer regions of its base area facing the magnet coils to form a leg part extending toward the adjacent element which is spaced therefrom, which, together with the adjoining side surface of the shielding element, forms a common extended outside surface and has a predetermined thickness in the direction of the normal relative to this outside surface.
