Abstract
The disclosure relates to a detector unit comprising a radio frequency antenna unit and a gradient coil unit surrounding the radio frequency antenna unit concentrically, each embodied as hollow cylinders surrounding a cylinder axis in the longitudinal direction. The detector unit comprises at least four shim units, which are embodied as oblong shapes and are each arranged in parallel to the cylinder axis at various positions in the circumferential direction on a first inner surface, with said first inner surface corresponding to the side of the gradient coil unit facing towards the cylinder axis, and forming raised areas in the direction of the cylinder axis. The detector unit comprises a fixing unit embodied for fixing the at least four shim units to the gradient coil unit, and an RF screen, which is arranged at least partly between the radio frequency antenna unit and the gradient coil unit.
