Abstract
A nuclear magnetic resonance tomograph or an imaging magnetic resonance apparatus ( ) has a magnet ( ) which is isolated in terms of vibration from a surrounding structure, in particular a building floor ( ), by an isolation system ( ). The isolation system ( ) has an actively controlled isolation module ( ) which is preferably designed to damp non-acoustic vibrations, in particular vibrations with a frequency of less than 50 Hz. According to a preferred embodiment, moreover, a passive isolation module ( ) with a vibration-damping material (D) is present. A particularly high degree of isolation of the magnet ( ) from the surrounding structure can be achieved with the aid of the isolation system ( ).
