Abstract:
A method for magnetic resonance imaging comprising the steps of:prior to conducting a magnetic resonance measurement of a region of interest of an examination subject, obtaining a multi-dimensional overview image of at least said region of interest, and displaying said overview image; in the displayed overview image, designating a position and an orientation of a slice of said region of interest for which said magnetic resonance measurement is to be subsequently conducted to obtain a magnetic resonance image of said slice; manually entering into a computer an input designating a degree of folds to be permitted in said image of said slice, said input being selected from the group consisting of no folds and a prescribed level of folds; and in said computer, automatically calculating an envelope of said region of interest from said overview image and automatically calculating dimensions of a minimal field of view for said magnetic resonance measurement from said envelope and said position and orientation of said slice, dependent on said input.
