Abstract
A method for providing alignment scan parameters for an alignment scan of a magnetic resonance examination of a patient's body part via a magnetic resonance apparatus comprises: capturing a normalization scan, wherein the normalization scan is used to calibrate the magnetic resonance apparatus; determining the position of the body part based on the normalization scan; positioning a local coil of the magnetic resonance apparatus in a patient-receiving region of the magnetic resonance apparatus around the body part; ascertaining alignment scan parameters for an alignment scan based on the position of the body part; and providing the alignment scan parameters.
