fig1 shows a section view of basic components of a magnetic resonance device 1 of a first embodiment according to the invention . this is a solenoid magnetic resonance device 1 in which a magnetic field is generated in a longitudinal direction of the patient receptacle 2 that is defined by the magnet housing 3 ( see arrows 4 ). the fundamental modes of operation and components of magnetic resonance devices are generally known , such that here only components relevant to the present invention are discussed in detail . the magnetic resonance housing 3 has a receptacle 6 ( which here is fashioned as a depression 7 ) in a lower region that comes to lie below the patient table when the patient table 5 has been driven in . a transducer unit 8 that is part of an hifu device is inserted into the receptacle 6 . the transducer unit 8 , which moreover is countersunk into depression 7 so that it can be removed , has a housing that defines a water basin 9 . in the water basin 9 a transducer 10 is arranged that can be aligned and positioned variably via a positioning device 11 . in the exemplary embodiment shown here , control and supply conduits 12 are directed outward through the patient receptacle 2 below the patient table 5 , for example to a control unit 13 of the hifu device . in order to enable a coupling of the transducer unit 8 to a patient surface , in the region that comes to lie over the transducer unit 8 when the patient table 5 has been driven in said patient table ( which can be driven into the patient receptacle 2 ) has a coupling device 14 that presently has a coupling body inserted into a recess 15 of the patient table , here a gel cushion . so that this does not abrade the surface of the magnet housing 3 upon being driven in , the patient table 5 is driven in while being slightly raised and then can be lowered so that there is contact between the coupling body 16 and the surface of the transducer unit 8 . the depression 7 in the magnet housing 3 is achieved via a special layout of the magnetic resonance device 1 . here at least one gradient coil is initially realized as a split gradient coil ( indicated at 17 ). this means that the gradient coil 17 has a recess in the middle that is used to realize the depression 7 . the actual basic magnet — indicated here by a few a few coil conductors 18 designated as examples — is located within a cooling vessel 19 that is part of a cooling device . the cooling device is thereby presently realized so that coolant conduits 20 are associated with the coil conductors 18 , which coolant conduits 20 are directed together with the coil conduits 18 through a vacuum , which means that the cooling vessel 19 is a vacuum cooling vessel . this enables the depression 7 to be provided more simply . the primary magnet itself has already been designed so that no coil conduits 18 whatsoever are present at the location of the depression 7 . it is consequently possible to design the entire magnetic resonance device 1 to that effect to enable an integration of the transducer unit 8 by means of the accommodation 6 in the magnet housing 3 . a similar realization is also possible in an open magnetic resonance device 1 ′, as is explained in detail via the exemplary embodiment in fig2 , in which ( for simplicity ) corresponding components are provided with the same reference characters . there only the lower of the two hollow plates 21 is drawn in section . although no patient table 5 is shown in fig2 , a patient table 5 designed as in the exemplary embodiment according to fig1 can be used there . a depression 7 as a receptacle 6 for a transducer unit 8 is in turn clearly provided in the magnet housing 3 . the gradient coil system 17 again has a recess . precisely in the case of such an open magnetic resonance device 1 ′, an hifu treatment is thereby advantageously possible since the patient receptacle is not or is only less limited in terms of its size . it should be noted that the control and supply conduits 12 do not need to be directly guided through the patient receptacle 2 below the patient table . in the shown embodiments of the respective cooling devices it is also possible to direct the control and supply conduits 12 outside through the cooling vessel 19 , thus ultimately through the primary magnet itself . it can be advantageous to also integrate at least one part of a local coil — in particular a conductor loop 22 ( indicated by dashes in fig1 )— into the transducer unit 8 since a conductor loop placed close to the patient and to the examination region is thus provided without an additional device being required . although modifications and changes may be suggested by those skilled in the art , it is the intention of the inventors to embody within the patent warranted hereon all changes and modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of his contribution to the art .
