For improving image quality in MRI, a method for magnetic of an object is provided that includes obtaining MRI data during at least a first and a second acquisition step. Each acquisition step includes at least two data acquisition periods. A movement of the object is monitored by a camera system during the acquisition steps. Data obtained during the acquisition periods is adjusted based on the monitoring. Data obtained during a first reference period of the first acquisition step is compared to data obtained during a second reference period of the second acquisition step. The obtained or adjusted data is corrected based on a result of the comparison.

Magnetic resonance imaging

In a magnetic resonance method and apparatus wherein the magnetic resonance device has a movable patient bed, in a first overview measurement, a first image data record of a patient is acquired, and patient information and/or information of a treatment region of a patient is/are determined from the acquired first image data record. In a second overview measurement, dependent on the patient information and/or on the positioning information of the treatment region of the first image data record, a second image data record is acquired. In a planning step a layer planning for the image data acquisition is implemented from the acquired second image data record. Image data for a medical and/or diagnostic issue and/or examination are recorded. The first image data record of the first overview measurement is recorded with a lower spatial resolution than a spatial resolution of the second image data record of the second overview measurement.
