Abstract
The invention relates to a preparing apparatus for preparing an influencing procedure for influencing a subject. The preparing apparatus () comprises a subject coil () for generating a magnetic resonance image of he subject (), an instrument guide device () for guiding an instrument () for influencing the subject (), a marker () being visible in the magnetic resonance image, and an attaching element for attaching the instrument guide device () to the subject coil () in a known spatial relationship. Since the spatial relationship between the instrument guide device () and the subject coil () is known, if they are attached to each other, a time consuming registration procedure for registering an influence trajectory, which has been planned based on the magnetic resonance image, and the instrument guide device () can be avoided.
