Abstract
A magnetic resonance tomography device has a local coil that is fashioned to receive a magnetic resonance signal. This device has a detector system that is fashioned to detect a position of the local coil on the basis of electromagnetic waves that are affected by the position of the local coil and can be differentiated from the magnetic resonance signal. A method to detect a position of a local coil in a magnetic resonance tomography device Is implemented in this manner as well.
