An MR tomography apparatus has a system for contrast optimization of MRT images, with: an input unit for measurement parameters such as, for example, TR, TE, FOV, matrix size, flip angle, . . . etc. a unit for establishment of the anatomical area to be examined in the examination subject; a unit for combination of a plurality of MRT images acquired with various measurement parameters; and a unit for visualization and generation of a DICOM header for selected MRT image combinations. The tomography apparatus also has a storage unit in which predetermined experiential values for parameters of equations for combination of a number of various MRT images are stored with regard to a number of selectable anatomical areas of an examination subject; and an acquisition unit for generation of MRT images under selective consideration of the experiential values for measurement parameters that are stored for the anatomical structure to be examined.
