Abstract
The disclosure relates to a magnetic resonance tomography scanner and to a method for operating the magnetic resonance tomography scanner. The method includes determining a B0 field map. The method further includes determining an excitation of the nuclear spins to be achieved and a spectrally selective excitation pulse for transmission by a transmitter by way of an antenna as a function of the B0 field map. In the method, the excitation pulse is configured here to generate the excitation of the nuclear spins to be achieved in the patient. The excitation pulse is then output by way of the antenna.
