Abstract
In a method of a magnetic resonance system and a method and computer-readable storage medium for the operation thereof to acquire magnetic resonance image data of an examination subject, wherein magnetic resonance system has a number of subsystems and a control device, a number of adjustment measurements to adjust at least one subsystem for making a medical diagnostic data acquisition are implemented through the control device. In these adjustment measurements, an adjustment volume associated with the appertaining adjustment measurement is taken into account that encompasses at least one region of a body containing the examination subject. For this purpose, markings established by the control device within image data of the examination subject and characterizing the spatial occupation (position and orientation) and/or a dimension of the examination subject are determined. Based on these markings the spatial occupation and extent of an adjustment volume for an adjustment measurement are determined automatically by the control device.
