Abstract

In a method for assessing ambient conditions of an installation site of a magnetic resonance imaging device, various places in an area surrounding the installation site are examined by means of a detection unit for changes in a test magnetic field and the ambient conditions are determined from the results of the examination. The detection unit includes a magnetic field generator and a magnetic field sensor.
