Abstract
In a method for operating a magnetic resonance apparatus, and a magnetic resonance apparatus for implementing the method, the magnetic resonance apparatus having a gradient system containing at least one gradient coil for generating a gradient field at least within an imaging volume, and at least one shield coil operable independently of the gradient coil for generating a shielding field with which the gradient field can be neutralized in a prescribable region, the gradient system is operated in an operating mode wherein the shield coil is operated for intensifying the gradient field within the imaging volume.
