Shield for a magnetic resonance imaging device, and so equipped magnetic resonance imaging device

The invention relates to a shield for an MRI device (10), with a cylinder jacket-like shape for placement radially between a radially outer gradient coil system (12) for generating a magnetic field in an examination space (20) of the MRI device and a radially inner RF coil system (16) for transmitting and / or receiving of RF signals into the examination space (20) and out of the examination space (20), said shield on a screening surface arranged, electrically conductive, separated from one another by slots strip (30). According to the invention it is provided that the strips (30) each having angled and / or rounded portions history to create a two-dimensional pattern of shield rings on the screening surface.
