Abstract
A positioning method for a magnetic resonance imaging system comprises: acquiring a scattering parameter curve of a body coil during a process in which an examination table carrying a subject under examination enters a scanning bore of the magnetic resonance imaging system; acquiring the position of a part to be examined of the subject under examination on the basis of the scattering parameter curve; and moving the examination table on the basis of the position of the part to be examined such that the part to be examined is located at the center of the scanning bore.
