Abstract
A method for checking the functionality of an MR sensor within a local coil arrangement, the method including: acquiring at a first couch position a first measurement value from the magnetic field sensor outside the bore at the first measurement position of the local coil arrangement, and determining the first position information; acquiring at a second couch position a second measurement value from the magnetic field sensor during or after the conclusion of the couch's travel into the bore at a second measurement position of the local coil arrangement, which second measurement position differs from the first; determining a reference value, which specifies the expected main magnetic field at the second measurement position, determined from the first position information and the couch's displacement distance; and determining error information, which indicates a potential measurement error, by comparing the second measurement value with the reference value.
