| 1. A magnetic resonance tomography apparatus comprising:
an input unit allowing entry of measurement parameters for acquiring magnetic resonance image data;
a unit allowing selection of an anatomical area of an examination subject to be examined using said measurement parameters;
a unit that combines a plurality of magnetic resonance images acquired with respectively different measurement parameters;
a storage unit containing predetermined experimental values for equation parameters for combining said plurality of MR images
for respectively different anatomical areas of an examination subject;
a magnetic resonance data acquisition unit that is controlled, to acquire magnetic resonance data from the subject, using
measurement parameters associated with the combination of said plurality of MR images dependent on the selected anatomical
area; and
a unit that generates a DICOM header for the combination of said plurality of said MR images and a visualization unit for
said combination; and in that said plurality of MR images are combined as exposures with weakly-weighted T2 values acquired with a HASTE technique.
