METHOD FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING WITH AUTOMATIC ADAPTATION OF THE MEASURING FIELD

In a method for magnetic resonance imaging, with which an imaging magnetic resonance measurement of a region of interest in an object under examination is carried out, and a tomogram of the region is displayed, that can be prescribed in position and orientation, and a two- or three-dimensional magnetic resonance overview image of at least a part of the object under examination is made before the imaging magnetic resonance measurement. In the method an envelope of the part of the object under examination is determined automatically from the magnetic resonance overview picture, and the dimensions of a minimal measuring field for the imaging magnetic resonance measurement are automatically calculated from the position and orientation of the prescribable slice, taking account of the envelope, for which no folds, or a prescribable measure thereof, occur in the tomogram. Optimal adaptation of the minimal measuring field to the respectively selected slice in a simple manner.
