Abstract

A magnetic resonance device having a tunnel for accommodating a patient is disclosed. The magnetic resonance device has a lining which clads both the tunnel and the end faces adjacent to it. At least one OLED, LCD or LED display panel is movably disposed on or in the lining cladding the tunnel or the lining cladding the end face. The display panel disposed in the tunnel is disposed on a bracket which can travel linearly along the lining and/or along the circumference of the lining. The display panel disposed on the end-face lining can travel and/or be tilted vertically.

Claims (12)

1. A magnetic resonance device, comprising:

a tunnel for accommodating a patient;

a lining that clads the tunnel and an end face adjacent to the tunnel;

a bracket disposed on the lining that travels along the tunnel; and

a display panel disposed on the bracket that travel along the tunnel and is guided by the bracket.

2. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an operating unit that controls the display panel to automatically travel and/or be tilted.

3. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display panel wirelessly communicates with an external signal transmission unit and/or an external energy supply unit.

4. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the external signal transmission unit comprises a selection unit for selecting information stored in a memory of the external signal transmission unit for display by the patient in the tunnel.

5. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a microphone or an operating element for interaction with the patient.

6. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an optical unit to compensate eyesight of the patient.

7. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the optical unit comprises a spectacle or a lens element disposed on a head coil to be worn by the patient.

8. The magnetic resonance device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises an OLED, LCD or LED.
