Abstract
In a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) apparatus and operating method, a field of view for imaging a target object is acquired. A relative position of this field of view in relation to a receiving space of the MRT scanner, in which the target object is received, is then automatically determined. A radio-frequency (RF) pulse to be used by the MRT scanner for imaging the target object is then automatically adjusted depending on this relative position. An excitation angle produced in the field of view by the RF pulse is changed compared to the use of the corresponding unadjusted RF pulse.
