Abstract
In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for an adaptation of a slice positioning within a slice protocol for an MR examination of a first body region and a second body region of a patient, wherein the two body regions are formed and/or arranged mirror-symmetrical to one another within the patient, the slice protocol for the MR examination is designated, and a manual adaptation of the slice protocol takes place for positioning at least one slice of the MR examination for the first body region by means of at least one first adaptation value. An automatic determination of a second adaptation value is made for positioning of at least one slice of the magnetic resonance examination for the second body region, the determination of the second adaptation value depending on the first adaptation value. An automatic adaptation of the slice protocol of the magnetic resonance examination for the second body region is then made, dependent on the second adaptation value.
