Abstract

A method for adjusting a magnetic field of a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT)-device having a magnet includes: transferring the magnet from an operating state to a non-operating state in a ramp-down mode; subsequently transferring the magnet from the non-operating state to the operating state in a ramp-up mode; observing a reference parameter different from the magnetic field; setting a target value for the reference parameter; comparing the observed reference parameter to the target value; and finishing the ramp-up mode when the reference parameter reaches the target value.
