The invention relates to a magnetic resonance unit, with a magnet generating a static magnetic field, in the hollow space of which an essentially tubular inner lining is disposed, into which a patient support device can be introduced, and with control elements disposed on a front lining to control the magnetic resonance unit. It is possible to introduce the patient support device and the inner lining, which surrounds the patient support device and can be moved in relation to the patient support device, into the hollow space of the magnet and to remove them therefrom together.
