Abstract

In a method and apparatus for supporting a user when positioning an accessory for a magnetic resonance examination on an examination object, the actual position of the accessory is acquired by an acquisition unit, and a target position of the accessory is determined by a determination unit. The actual position and the target position of the accessory are compared with regard to deviation of the actual position from the target position of the accessory. Output information representing any deviation that is found to exist is provided to a user via an output unit.
