Abstract

In a method for frequency calibration in a magnetic resonance system in a volume section containing an unknown number of determined substances, the predetermined volume section is excited with RF pulses and subsequent echo signals are recorded at different times and spectral information is determined for each of the echo signals, from which a peak value in the spectral information and an associated relaxation time are determined. Dependent on the relaxation time, a substance is determined for each peak value. A frequency adjustment substance dependent of the magnetic resonance system is then implemented. Multiple peak values in the spectral information of the echo signals can be determined.
