Abstract:
A method for correcting a B0 inhomogeneity in a magnetic resonance scan with a magnetic resonance tomograph is provided. The magnetic resonance tomograph includes a controller, a radio frequency unit, and a transmitting antenna. In the method, the controller determines a transmission signal that is suitable for correcting an effect of an inhomogeneity of a static B0 magnetic field in an examination volume by the Bloch-Siegert effect. The transmission signal is emitted into the examination volume.
