Abstract

In a method and test apparatus for determining a deviation in the homogeneity of a basic magnetic field of a magnetic resonance scanner, test vessels are positioned in a test plane that first and second positions along a direction in the scanner, and measurement data are acquired with the test vessels at said respective positions. The acquired measurement data are provided to a processor, wherein a deviation of the homogeneity of the basic magnetic field is determined based thereon.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining deviations from the homogeneity of a magnetic field of a magnetic resonance system in a first direction defined by a first axis and to a detection device used in the aforementioned method. Background technique [0002] In magnetic resonance systems, the examination object to be examined, for example a patient, is usually placed in a relatively large main magnetic field, for example 1.5 or 3 Tesla, by means of a main magnet. Furthermore, at least one magnetic field gradient is realized by means of the gradient coil unit. The high-frequency excitation signal (HF signal) is then transmitted via the high-frequency antenna unit by means of a suitable antenna arrangement, which results in determining the nuclear spins of the atoms excited by the high-frequency field resonance with defined relative to the magnetic field lines of the high-frequency field. Flip Angle Flip. When the nuclear spins finally preces...
