Abstract

A field distribution correction element for positioning on an examination subject in a magnetic resonance system for local influencing of the radio-frequency field distribution during a magnetic resonance acquisition has a system of electrically conductive dipole strips essentially running in parallel, arranged on a carrier element. In a corresponding method for generation of magnetic resonance exposures of an examination subject in a magnetic resonance system, for local influencing of the radio-frequency field distribution, such a field distribution correction element is positioned on the patient.
