Abstract
Techniques for optimizing protocol parameters of an MR protocol are provided. The techniques provides for a combined safety/operability test gradient-specific gradient factors Falready determined prior to the performance of a test on an MR protocol and noise optimization of the MR protocol by means of a noise optimization method are used, with adjusted protocol parameters determined after the determination of the gradient-specific gradient factors Fvia a test performed on the MR protocol, in the creation of an adjusted MR protocol. As a result, valuable computing time for the combined testing and optimization is saved, since multiplication of the parameter space of both the methods can be omitted. A method for the combined testing and noise optimization is herewith greatly accelerated by the use of pre-prepared gradient information, e.g. in the form of gradient factors.
