Abstract
In a computer and a magnetic resonance method and apparatus for automatic characterization (classification) of liver tissue in a region of interest of a liver, at least one value tuple of the region of interest of the liver is acquired, the value tuple including at least one Tvalue determined from magnetic resonance images of the region of interest, or a reciprocal value thereof, and a Tor T* value or a reciprocal value thereof. The value tuple is transferred into a multidimensional parameter space and the characterization of the liver tissue is then performed on the basis of the position of the value tuple in the parameter space.
