Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for identifying radio frequency (RF) interference without an RF room during imaging in a magnetic resonance tomography system. The method includes performing an acquisition, wherein scanning of a k-space along a trajectory takes place and an angle of rotation α exists between a scan start position of a first individual acquisition and a scan start position of a following second individual acquisition. A first image is obtained from the first individual acquisition and a second image is obtained from the second individual acquisition. One of the two images is rotated in respect of the other image about the angle of rotation α. A correlation is determined between the one rotated image and the other image, and a point of interference is identified from the correlation.
