Abstract

At least one example embodiment provides a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising at least one local radiofrequency (RF) coil; and at least one marker element, wherein the magnetic resonance imaging system is configured to activate the at least one marker element and deactivate the at least one marker element such that the at least one marker element is detectable by the magnetic resonance imaging system at a position relative to the at least one local RF coil if the at least one marker element is activated, and the at least one marker element is not detectable by the magnetic resonance imaging system if the at least one marker element is deactivated.
