Claim:
1. A computerized method to determine a magnetic resonance control sequence comprising at least one first pulse arrangement that spatially selectively excites nuclear spins in an examination subject in a first selection direction, and a subsequent second pulse arrangement that spatially selectively excites said nuclear spins in said examination subject in a second selection direction, said method comprising: providing a computerized processor with viewing volume dimension parameter values that define a spatial extent of a viewing volume within the examination subject in which said nuclear spins are to be excited; in said computerized processor, establishing said first selection direction and said second selection direction in said magnetic resonance control sequence automatically depending on a length ratio of a spatial extent of said viewing volume in the respective first selection direction and the second selection direction; and via an output interface of said computerized processor, making the magnetic resonance control sequence, with the established first and second selection directions, available in an electronic format configured to operate a magnetic resonance apparatus to acquire magnetic resonance data according to said magnetic resonance control sequence.
