Abstract

A magnetic resonance apparatus has a scanner that has a patient receiving area, a position data acquisition unit, and a patient examination table of a patient positioning device. The table is movable within the patient receiving area. The position data acquisition unit detects a subarea, including an isocenter, of the patient receiving area, and provides position data to a speed regulating processor that regulates the speed of the table of patient positioning device depending on this position data.
