Abstract
In a method for slice positioning of an examination subject in a magnetic resonance system an item of localization information describing the arrangement of the examination subject is automatically determined at least one item of alignment information is automatically determined. At least one slice positioning entry is acquired by an operator, which includes a selection of one of the items of alignment information or an item of manual positioning information. Offset information, which includes a relative slice positioning effected by the manual positioning information, is automatically determined and the slice positioning is determined as a function of the slice positioning entries and the offset information. The offset information is stored separately from the slice positioning in a magnetic resonance measurement protocol, and is used in a further configuration of a further slice positioning.
