Abstract

In a magnetic resonance apparatus and an operating method therefor in which magnetic resonance data are acquired from a patient, a measurement process is used in which a number of magnetic resonance sequences are carried out sequentially, and a maximum measurement time parameter, describing a maximum possible measurement time for undershooting a threshold value for the overall energy input into the patient during the measurement process, is established, taking into account other known recording parameters of the measurement process. The maximum measurement time parameter is used to restrict the ability of an operator to set a measurement time parameter describing the measurement time as a recording parameter, and/or is used as the measurement time parameter.
