1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program portions that, when executed by a determining system, cause the determining system to perform a method for determining a subset of coil elements, from among a plurality of coil elements, for capturing a magnetic resonance tomography recording, the method comprising:
providing a target volume in a scout view;
determining a plurality of subsets of coil elements from among the plurality of coil elements, wherein individual subsets, from among the plurality of subsets, are configured different from one another;
determining at least one quality criterion for each of the plurality of subsets of coil elements, wherein the at least one quality criterion of a corresponding subset of coil elements relates to an image quality in the target volume, dependent upon the corresponding subset of coil elements;
determining the subset of coil elements, from among the plurality of subsets of coil elements, by applying a trained function to the at least one quality criterion for each of the plurality of subsets of coil elements, to determine an optimized quality criterion, wherein the subset of coil elements is a subset of coil elements corresponding to the optimized quality criterion; and
providing an information item regarding which of the plurality of coil elements are included in the subset of coil elements.
