摘要：
The invention provides an apparatus (1) for magnetic resonance (MR) examination of a subject (S), comprising: an examination region (3) for accommodating the subject (S) during the MR examination a radio-frequency system (5) for transmission of a radio-frequency (RF) signal or field into the examination region (3) during the MR examination and a temperature control system (6) for controlling the temperature of the subject (S) in the examination region (3) during the examination. The temperature control system (6) is configured to actively control or regulate an environment of the subject (S), and thereby the temperature or thermal comformt of the subject (S) based upon a detected and/or an expected temperature of the subject (S) during the MR examination. The invention also provides a method of controlling thermal comfort of the subject (S) during an examination of the subject (S) in a MR apparatus (1), comprising the steps of: estimating and/or detecting a temperature of the subject (S) during the MR examination, and actively controlling or regulating the environment of the subject (S) based upon the estimated and/or detected temperature of the subject (S) during the MR examination.
