1. A magnetic resonance imaging device, the magnetic resonance imaging device comprising:
at least one magnetic shielding element, the at least one magnetic shielding element having a U-shaped cross-section to surround a shielding volume on three sides, the shielding volume being shielded by the at least one magnetic shielding element from a magnetic field;
at least one electrical component in the shielding volume; and
a coil arrangement including at least two coil rings, the at least two coil rings being offset along a longitudinal direction of a patient receptacle, and the coil arrangement being configured to form the magnetic field in an inner volume, the inner volume being partially surrounded by the at least two coil rings, and the patient receptacle being at least partially surrounded by the inner volume, wherein
the at least one magnetic shielding element and the at least one electrical component are outside of the inner volume and are centrally between the at least two coil rings in a longitudinal direction of the at least two coil rings, and
the at least one magnetic shielding element is configured to shield the at least one electrical component from the magnetic field.
