Method to control a magnetic resonance device for image acquisition, and corresponding magnetic resonance device

A magnetic resonance system comprising:

• a magnetic resonance data acquisition device having a radio-frequency antenna comprising multiple transmission channels;
• a control unit having a user interface and a processor;
• said user interface of said control unit being configured to allow designation of at least one image acquisition item selected from the group consisting of a slice having a non-cuboid shape from which image data are to be acquired, a slice having a shape adapted to a target volume from which image data are to be acquired, and a saturation volume adapted in shape to a target volume from which image data are to be acquired;
• said processor in said control unit being configured to automatically limit the designated image acquisition item, designated via the user interface, dependent on a technical embodiment of said radio-frequency antenna, to produce an antenna-limited image acquisition item;
• and
• said control unit being configured to operate said magnetic resonance data acquisition unit to acquire said image data according to a protocol that includes said antenna-limited image acquisition item.
