A generator of time-variable magnetic fields of a magnetic resonance
device having an examination space for registering at least one area to
be examined of an item being examined has the following features:
the conductors of a gradient coil arrangement of the generator define an
area at least partially surrounding the examination space,
said area contains at least a partial area which is free from conductors
of the gradient coil arrangement and which contains conductors of a radio
frequency antenna of the generator, and
a field flowback space, inter alia for fields of the radio frequency
antenna, extends proceeding from the partial area away from the
examination space and is delimited beyond said partial area by a radio
frequency shield.
