SHIM COIL DEVICE AND A MAGNETIC RESONANCE COIL SYSTEM HAVING A SHIM COIL DEVICE

摘要

A shim coil device and a magnetic resonance coil system having a shim coil device. The present invention particularly relates to a shim coil device for compensating heterogeneity of a main magnetic field during medical magnetic resonance imaging of a breast of a patient. The device comprises: a housing unit having a contact surface which contacts with the patient; and at least one shim coil element having a shim coil shaft. The shim coil device can be arranged on the patient in a way that at least one shim coil shaft has a tilt angle of α against a contact surface and/or against a surface of a patient. Herein, α >=45° and α<=135°.
