Abstract

In a method and apparatus for visualizing the position of a medical object in a body of an examination object, a stack of sectional images through the body, acquired by operation of a magnetic resonance imaging system, is provided to a processor, which implements sectional-image-specific pixel coding of the sectional images. This is followed by the creation of a combination image composed of a combination of a number of coded sectional images from the stack, and representation of the combination image.
