Abstract
A magnetic resonance tomography unit for localizing metallic objects and an operating method are provided. In one act of the method, an excitation pulse is used to excite nuclear spins in a region surrounding a compact metallic object. Magnetic resonance data is acquired with samplings along a plurality of trajectories, where the samplings take place using a bSSFP sequence, and the nuclear spins are dephased by a gradient. A position of a geometric focal point of the compact metallic object is ascertained based on a position of a visual focal point of acquired artifacts.
