Abstract

In a method for monitoring absorption of a transmitter output irradiated into a patient by a transmitter unit of a magnetic resonance device, absorption data is provided, which describes a patient-nonspecific, location-dependent absorption sensitivity of the transmitter output to be irradiated. The patient is positioned in an irradiation region of the magnetic resonance device, in which the irradiation of the transmitter output into the patient is to take place. An anatomy of the patient is detected in the irradiation region, and the absorption data is assigned to the anatomy of the patient. A magnetic resonance scan of the patient is then performed, wherein the transmitter output absorbed by the patient is monitored during the magnetic resonance scan based on the absorption data assigned to the anatomy of the patient.
