A magnetic resonance device is disclosed including a patient receiving zone, at least one diffusion gradient coil, at least one magnet for generating a basic magnetic field, and a plurality of gradient coils for generating gradient fields overlaying the basic magnetic field. The basic magnetic field extends substantially along a first direction in the patient receiving zone and a first gradient of a first gradient field runs in the first direction and at least one further gradient of a further gradient field runs in a further direction orthogonal to the first direction. The diffusion gradient coil has at least one conductor loop running in one plane or a plurality of conductor loops each running in parallel planes.
