ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance apparatus has a basic field magnet for providing a uniform magnetic basic field, a gradient coil system for coding within the basic field as well as a passive shim system for homogenizing the magnetic basic field. This passive shim system is composed of shim iron plates that are placed in the magnetic basic field. A device is provided with which the temperature of these shim iron plates is controlled.
