Abstract

A method for evaluating positioning of an examination object on a patient-positioning apparatus in a magnetic resonance unit, a magnetic resonance unit, and a computer program product are provided. The method includes acquiring positioning data relating to the examination object using an acquisition unit. Using the acquired positioning data, positioning information relating to the examination object is determined using an analysis unit. Evaluation information is determined using the positioning information, using an evaluation unit. Using the evaluation information, an evaluation signal is transmitted using an output unit. Monitoring of a specific absorption rate may be adjusted using the evaluation signal.
