The disclosure relates to a magnetic resonance tomography scanner, a system including two magnetic resonance tomography scanners, and a method for operation thereof which reduces mutual interference between the magnetic resonance tomography scanners. A first magnetic resonance tomography scanner has a control unit for controlling the image acquisition and an interface connected to the control unit for signal communication purposes. The control unit is configured for synchronizing an image acquisition as a function of a signal received via the interface from a second magnetic resonance tomography scanner.
