Abstract
In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for setting acquisition parameters of a scan protocol, in an operator control console, for a planned MR acquisition procedure of slice groups rotated with respect to one another through an angle relative to an axis of rotation, each containing at least one slice, a graphical representation of the slice groups is used for operator specification of the angle and/or the number of slice groups. After a graphical selection of a starting slice group by a user and selection of a radial slice group operating mode when a first operator action of the user is performed via an input device, the slice group number is increased while the angle is reduced. When a second operator action is performed via the input device, the slice group number is reduced while the angle is increased. The graphical representation is simultaneously updated in each case.
