Method and magnetic resonance apparatus for establishing a measurement protocol of a magnetic resonance data acquisition

1. A method for establishing at least one measurement protocol for executing a magnetic resonance (MR) data acquisition from an examination object, comprising:

in a computer, setting measurement parameters for an MR data acquisition from an examination object to be executed by operating an MR scanner with said measurement parameters;

entering a designation into said computer of a specific absorption rate (SAR) for said MR data acquisition;

in said computer, generating at least one measurement protocol that includes further measurement parameters according to the designated SAR;

from said computer, operating said MR scanner to execute said MR data acquisition using said measurement protocol that includes said further measurement parameters according to the designated SAR; and

at a display in communication with said computer while MR data acquisition is being executed, displaying said designated SAR together with a remaining measurement time that can occur in said MR data acquisition without said designated SAR being exceeded.

2. A method as claimed in claim 1 comprising, in said computer, establishing a characteristic variable that indicates an ability of said MR scanner to execute said at least one measurement protocol according to said designated SAR.

3. A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said characteristic variable includes a designation of a waiting time.

4. A method as claimed in claim 1 comprising establishing said at least one measurement protocol by selecting a measurement protocol that includes said further measurement parameters.

5. A method as claimed in claim 4 comprising after selecting said measurement protocol, establishing said SAR again, and repeating the step of establishing said at least one measurement protocol.

6. A magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus comprising:

an MR scanner;

a computer configured to set measurement parameters for an MR data acquisition from an examination object to be executed by operating said MR scanner with said measurement parameters;

said computer being configured to receive a designation of a specific absorption rate (SAR) for said MR data acquisition;

said computer being configured to generate at least one measurement protocol that includes further measurement parameters according to said designated SAR;

said computer being configured to operate said MR scanner to execute said MR data acquisition using said measurement protocol that includes said further measurement parameters according to the designated SAR;

a display in communication with said computer; and

said computer being configured to display, while MR data acquisition is being executed, said designated SAR at said display together with a remaining measurement time that can occur in said MR data acquisition without said designated SAR being exceeded.

7. A non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium encoded with programming instructions, said storage medium being loaded into a control computer of a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus, and said programming instructions causing said control computer to:

set measurement parameters for an MR data acquisition from an examination object to be executed by operating an MR scanner with said measurement parameters;

receive a designation of a specific absorption rate (SAR) for said MR data acquisition;

generate at least one measurement protocol that includes further measurement parameters according to said designated SAR;

operate said MR scanner to execute said MR data acquisition using said measurement protocol that includes said further measurement parameters according to the designated SAR; and

display, at a display in communication with said control computer while MR data acquisition is being executed, said designated SAR together with a remaining measurement time that can occur in said MR data acquisition without said designated SAR being exceeded.
