Abstract

A magnetic resonance apparatus with a scanner unit, a patient receiving area at least partly surrounded by the scanner unit, and a patient display unit arranged within the patient receiving area, wherein the patient display unit includes a reflective display.

Claims (11)

1 . A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising:

a scanner unit;

a patient receiving area at least partly surrounded by the scanner unit;

a patient display unit arranged within the patient receiving area, wherein the patient display unit comprises a reflective display; and

a display control unit, integrated within a system control unit of the magnetic resonance apparatus,

wherein the display control unit is configured to prevent and/or deactivate data transmission to the reflective display and/or a signal processing by the reflective display during magnetic resonance data acquisition time windows.

2 . The magnetic resonance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflective display comprises an E-paper display.

3 . The magnetic resonance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the patient receiving area has a housing surrounding the patient receiving area with an inner wall, and the reflective display is arranged on the inner wall surrounding the patient receiving area above the patient receiving area.

4 . The magnetic resonance apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the reflective display has a shape adapted to a surface shape of the inner wall of the housing surrounding the patient receiving area.

5 . The magnetic resonance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a data transmission unit is embodied for a data transmission to the reflective display.

6 . The magnetic resonance apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a static display of image information by the reflective display is showable during the acquisition of magnetic resonance data.
