Abstract

The disclosure relates to a positioning device for positioning in a static magnetic field of a magnetic resonance tomography system and a magnetic resonance tomography system. The positioning device may be moved along a first axis in the magnetic field. Herein, the positioning device includes a plurality of magnetic-field-strength sensors arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the first axis in predetermined positions on the positioning device.
