Abstract
In a method and apparatus for obtaining a magnetic resonance image from a number of slices of an examination subject, a survey image is generated perpendicular to desired slices which are to be imaged, and the desired slices are graphically positioned within the survey image. A three-dimensional data set is then obtained which includes the desired slices, and the desired slices are reconstructed from the three-dimensional data set, thereby obtaining image data. An image of the desired slices is then displayed using the image data.
