1. A method for determining at least one test position for a test measurement to be recorded using a magnetic resonance (MR) system, comprising:
recording a test image using a MR scanner of the MR-system, system;
selecting, by a controller of the MR system, at least one test position based on the test image, wherein the selection of the at least one test position comprises: assigning, according to an assignment function based on intensity values of the test image at the at least one test position, the at least one test position to permitted test positions and blocked test positions; and
making the selected at least one test position available in electronic form as a data file.
