1. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner comprising:
a patient tunnel;
a first receiving antenna operable to receive a magnetic resonance signal from a patient in the patient tunnel;
a second receiving antenna operable to receive a signal having the Larmor frequency of the magnetic resonance signal; and
a receiver,
wherein the second receiving antenna is arranged outside or in a vicinity of an opening of the patient tunnel,
wherein the receiver is connected to the first receiving antenna and the second receiving antenna for signaling, and the receiver is configured to suppress an interference signal received with the second receiving antenna in a magnetic resonance signal received by the first receiving antenna, and
wherein the receiver is configured to suppress a wideband interference signal received with the second receiving antenna outside a frequency range of the magnetic resonance signal in the magnetic resonance signal received by the first receiving antenna, the suppression of the wideband interference signal comprising:
receipt of a frequency portion of the interference signal close to the Larmor frequency by the receiver via the second receiving antenna;
process of the magnetic resonance signal as a function of the frequency portion of the interference signal by the receiver to a receive signal, wherein a dependency is a function of a parameter; and
set of the parameter by the receiver, so that a portion of the interference signal is reduced in the receive signal.
