An apparatus and method for magnetic resonance scanning is described. The apparatus comprises an RF coil (16) for receiving an RF signal, a housing (10) for housing the RF coil, and a support (38). The support (38) is provided for locating a fiducial marker (50) in a repeatable position relative to the housing (10), the repeatable position being within the RF field of the RF coil (16). The fiducial marker, in use, provides a reference peak in a magnetic resonance spectroscopy spectrum. Methods of using such apparatus for magnetic resonance scanning, are also outlined. In particular a method is described that includes the step of providing a housing (10) that comprises a recess (38) located within the RF field of the RF coil (16). A fiducial marker (50) is then placed in the recess without exposing the RF coil (16).
