Abstract

A method computer and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for controlling a table position of an examination table of the MR apparatus during an MR measurement. An SAR load is determined for an examination object with a calculated pulse sequence, at least for a first table position. Then the table position is adjusted while taking into consideration the SAR load at the first table position. The adjustment of the table position ensures that the SAR load of the examination object is reduced.
