Abstract
In a method for generating an image data set for display, magnetic resonance data of a patient are provided to a computer that contains parameters of the protons underlying the measured magnetic resonance signal in measured voxels. The image data set is generated dependent on at least one user specification, taking into consideration at least two parameters per voxel.

A method for generating an image data set or display, comprising:
- providing a computer with magnetic resonance data acquired from a subject, said magnetic resonance data qualitatively containing parameters of protons from which magnetic resonance signals, represented by said magnetic resonance data, originated in voxels of the subject;
- dependent on at least one user specification provided to the computer, automatically generating, in said computer, an image data set using at least two of said parameters per voxel in the image data set;
- and
- making the generated image data available from the computer, as a data file, in an electronic form for display of the generated image data set.
A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising:
- a magnetic resonance scanner;
- a computer provided with magnetic resonance data acquired from a subject by operation of said magnetic resonance scanner, said magnetic resonance data qualitatively containing parameters of protons from which magnetic resonance signals, represented by said magnetic resonance data, originated in voxels of the subject;
- dependent on at least one user specification provided to the computer, said computer being configured to automatically generate an image data set using at least two of said parameters per voxel in the image data set;
- and
- said computer being configured to make the generated image data available from the computer, as a data file, in an electronic form for display of the generated image data set.
A non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium encoded with programming instructions, said storage medium being loaded into a computer and said programming instructions causing said computer to:
- receive magnetic resonance data acquired from a subject, said magnetic resonance data qualitatively containing parameters of protons from which magnetic resonance signals, represented by said magnetic resonance data, originated in voxels of the subject;
- dependent on at least one user specification provided to the computer, automatically generate an image data set using at least two of said parameters per voxel in the image data set;
- and
- make the generated image data available from the computer, as a data file, in an electronic form for display of the generated image data set.
