Claim One:
1. A method for producing at least one two-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) image, comprising the steps of: operating a magnetic resonance data acquisition unit to acquire a first three-dimensional MR image data set of a predetermined region of a subject, with a first resolution; operating said magnetic resonance data acquisition unit to acquire a second three-dimensional MR image data set of said predetermined region, with a second resolution that is higher than said first resolution; in a processor, using said first three-dimensional MR image data set to determine at least one layer of the subject for which at least one two-dimensional MR image is generated; and in said processor, automatically generating said at least one two-dimensional MR image of said layer from said second MR image data set, and making said at least one two-dimensional MR image available as a data file at an output of said processor.
