TY  - PAT
AB - In a method for aligning a magnetic field-modifying structure (74) in a magnet bore (12) of a magnetic resonance imaging scanner (8), a reference magnetic field map of the magnet bore (12) is measured without the magnetic field-modifying structure (74) inserted. The magnetic field-modifying structure (74) is inserted into the magnet bore (12). A second magnetic field map of the magnetic bore (12) is measured with the magnetic field-modifying structure (74) inserted. At least one odd harmonic component of the first and second magnetic field maps is extracted. The magnetic field-modifying structure (74) is aligned in the magnet bore (12) based on a comparison of the odd harmonic component of the first and second magnetic field maps.
