1. A method for operating a magnetic resonance tomography system having a control system for controlling an image recording, the method comprising:
capturing, by the control system, a change in state of the magnetic resonance tomography system;
assessing, by the control system, whether the change in state indicates an operating interruption;
determining, by the control system, a plurality of possible energy-saving scenarios for an imminent interruption of the image recording as a function of the change in state;
determining, by the control system, restart times for the plurality of possible energy-saving scenarios;
outputting, by the control system, a selection possibility for a plurality of energy-saving scenarios, with information relating to the respective restart times, to a user; and
implementing, by the control system, an energy-saving scenario.
