Abstract

A method of operating a magnetic resonance imaging system () includes adjusting a radio frequency excitation field B1 to be applied to a subject of interest () to be imaged. At least one position parameter (d) that is indicative of a position of at least the portion of the subject of interest () relative to at least one radio frequency transmit antenna () of the magnetic resonance imaging system () is determined. At least one radio frequency power-related parameter of radio frequency power to be fed to the at least one radio frequency transmit antenna () is adjusted in dependence of the at least one of the determined at least one position parameter (d) and a determined geometric dimension (w) of the subject of interest ().
