Abstract
A system and method are provided for operating a magnetic resonance tomograph. A transmitter of the magnetic resonance tomograph transmits a predetermined test pulse with a reduced power. The magnetic resonance tomograph receives the test pulse with the local coil. A controller compares the received test pulse with a predetermined pulse response and emits a warning signal when the received test signal differs from the predetermined pulse response.
