Zusammenfassung:A magnetic resonance apparatus may include at least one sensor and a controller. The magnetic resonance apparatus is positionable in an examination room. A spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus in the examination room can be determined using the sensor. In a method for supporting an adjustment of a shim parameter of a magnetic resonance apparatus, a current spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus in an examination room is determined using the sensor, and a shim parameter of at least one shim element of the magnetic resonance apparatus is determined based on the current spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus and information of a magnetic field database. The magnetic field database may include information about a spatial location of the magnetic resonance apparatus and also magnetic field data correlated with the spatial location.
