Claim One:
1. A method for automated spectral fat saturation, the method comprising: recording a magnetic resonance (MR) spectrum with the aid of a high frequency (HF) coil and a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) device, a static magnetic field covering a recording volume of the MRT device; automatically analyzing the MR spectrum, the analyzing comprising searching for at least two resonant frequencies in the form of a fat peak and a water peak and a minimum between the fat peak and the water peak; adjusting the homogeneity of the static magnetic field with the aid of at least one shim coil; calculating an HF pulse for fat saturation as a function of the result of the searching; and automatically deciding as to whether adjusting, recording, analyzing and deciding are performed or whether calculating is performed, the deciding being a function of a predeterminable criterion.
