Claim 16:
17. A method for acquiring an image of a diagnostically relevant body region of a patient with a magnetic resonance imaging device, the method comprising:
aligning at least a part of the diagnostically relevant body region of the patient with the imaging volume;
performing a first magnetic resonance measurement to acquire first magnetic resonance image data from the diagnostically relevant body region;
adjusting a relative position and/or orientation of the magnetic resonance imaging device and the patient via rotation of the magnetic resonance imaging device and/or a patient positioning device;
performing a second magnetic resonance measurement to acquire second magnetic resonance image data from the diagnostically relevant body region;
reconstructing the image of the diagnostically relevant body region of the patient based on the first magnetic resonance image data and the second magnetic resonance image data; and
generating and outputting an electronic data file corresponding to the reconstructed image of the diagnostically relevant body region of the patient.
