Abstract
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging System consisting of a magnet () with a U-shaped frame (), whose pole faces define an open magnetic imaging area [R] for a patient, and a magnetic field generator () that is controlled to generate magnetic fields inside the magnetic imaging area; a transport system () associated with the magnet has a support structure () that defines a movement path through the magnetic imaging area. The transport system () also includes a bench () to support the patient. The transport system () can slide the bench () along the support structure so that the patient can be introduced into and extracted from the magnetic imaging area. The bench () may further include a non-reclinable support part () coupled to reclinable support parts (and) at opposing ends to allow the position of patient to be rotatably changed on the bench ().
