Abstract
In a method and apparatus for correcting image data acquired by an image data acquisition scanner of a magnetic resonance system, a reception profile of a reception antenna of the magnetic resonance scanner is determined. A correction function is determined by which an asymmetry of the reception profile with respect to a symmetry plane is corrected. Furthermore, image data are received and corrected by multiplying the intensity values of the image data with the determined correction function.
