Magnetic resonance imaging method and system

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging method. In order to form a magnetic resonance image of an object, the object is arranged in a steady, as uniform as possible magnetic field. Often only a part of the object is imaged; to this end, the part of the object to be imaged is then arranged in the steady magnetic field. The steady magnetic field orients spins in the object to be examined predominantly in the direction of the steady magnetic field. According to such a magnetic resonance imaging method, spins in an object to be examined are excited. Relaxation of the excited spins produces magnetic resonance signals which are acquired. A magnetic resonance image is reconstructed from the magnetic resonance signals acquired. A method of forming a magnetic resonance image involves separate measurement of the position of a measuring site. The magnetic resonance image is corrected on the basis of the measured position of the measuring site.
