ABSTRACT:
In a method and magnetic resonance system for homogenization of the B1field for a magnetic resonance data acquisition with a number of iteration steps. An iteration step includes the following sub-steps: Measurement data are acquired that represent a B1field distribution in at least one part of the examination volume of the magnetic resonance system. A B1homogeneity analysis based on the acquired measurement data is automatically implemented. A specific homogenization action is automatically selected from among a number of possible homogenization actions based on the B1homogeneity analysis, or the iterative homogenization method is ended if the diagnosed homogeneity is sufficient for an intended magnetic resonance measurement. The selected homogenization action is implemented.
