摘要： The invention relates to a method for compensating for a magnetic field disturbance affecting a magnetic resonance device, whereby the magnetic field disturbance is caused by a deflection of a component of the magnetic resonance device. To this end, the deflection or a variable causing the deflection is acquired in timed-dependent fashion, a mathematical field disturbance model is provided which models the effect the of the deflection on the magnetic field, and the acquired deflection or the variable causing the deflection is converted by means of the field disturbance model into a control variable for a compensation magnetic field generator or a high-frequency antenna. The compensation magnetic field generator controlled in this manner generates, for example, a compensation magnetic field which compensates for the magnetic field disturbance. The high-frequency antenna controlled in this manner is, for example, matched in its mid frequency to the magnetic field disturbance.

摘要： In a gradient coil and a method to manufacture a gradient coil for a magnetic resonance apparatus, the gradient coil has at least one saddle coil, the saddle coil having a spatially shaped, electrically conductive plate with a line-shaped recess penetrating the plate. Conductor structures that create a gradient magnetic field in an examination region when a current signal flows therethrough are formed by the recess and by the shaping of the plate. The recess is filled with an electrically insulating material before implementation of the spatial shaping.

摘要： A method and a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) system are provided. The MRT system includes a controller configured to store a transmit vector that is established on a local-coil-specific basis. The transmit vector, for a specific local coil, indicates with which amplitudes and phases, transmit elements of the local coil may be controlled by a transmit device. The controller is configured to initiate a patient-specific calibration measurement on a patient to generate patient-specific calibration data representing a field distribution. The controller is also configured to determine deviations in the patient-specific calibration data from the stored transmit vector established on a local-coil-specific basis. The patient-specific calibration data is generated in the patient-specific calibration measurement on the patient and represents a field distribution. An imaging MRT measurement is not allowed if deviations exceed a threshold value, but is otherwise performed and is monitored by a monitoring device.
