ABSTRACT:
In a method and magnetic resonance apparatus for the automatic determination of the sagittal plane in the examination region of an object, an essentially coronal localizer image exposure of the examination region is acquired, from which the sagittal plane is determined by an automatic image assessment by the image-processing unit of the magnetic resonance apparatus.
