Abstract

The embodiments relate to devices and methods for MRT imaging with a MRT, where a patient table having the scan subject is moved in at least one direction along at least one displacement path, determination of a quantity representing the SAR effect on the scan subject being carried out at a plurality of positions along the displacement path, a suitable position of the patient table, lying on a displacement path, being determined, at which the MRT imaging of the scan subject imaging region, to be scanned, of the scan subject is subsequently intended to be carried out.
