Abstract

In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and a method for the operation thereof, a diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging sequence is selected in a control computer of the apparatus, and an adjustment parameter for the selected sequence is acquired in the control computer, which is specific to the subject under examination. A limit value for a loading parameter of the subject is specified in the computer, and a parameter range for an imaging parameter of the sequence is determined in the computer on the basis of the acquired adjustment parameter and the specified limit value for the loading parameter. A planning environment for the magnetic resonance imaging of the subject is presented, in which only the determined parameter range can be set for the imaging parameter.
