Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for positioning a patient within a patient receiving area for a magnetic resonance examination. The techniques may include positioning the patient on a mobile patient table of a patient support facility and moving the patient table in a first horizontal direction until a region of the patient to be examined is arranged in a field of view of a patient receiving area of a magnetic resonance system. Moreover, the patient positioning techniques may include moving the patient table in a second horizontal direction and/or in a vertical direction within the patient receiving area, and acquiring medical magnetic resonance data of the region of the patient to be examined.
