Abstract
In a magnetic resonance method and apparatus, the magnetic resonance apparatus is operated according to a SEMAC (Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction) sequence, and, before executing the SEMAC sequence, a scout sequence is implemented, which is a SEMAC sequence but without phase encoding in the direction perpendicular to the slice selection direction. The number of SEMAC coding steps can then be determined before executing the SEMAC sequence, so that an unnecessarily high number of SEMAC coding steps is avoided.
