In a method and magnetic resonance apparatus for image monitoring of an invasive interventional procedure on a patient with the magnetic resonance apparatus, during the interventional procedure at least two current magnetic resonance monitoring images of the interventional procedure area are repeatedly acquired with different image recording parameters, and at least portions thereof are displayed on a monitor arranged on or as part of the magnetic resonance apparatus. A touchscreen is used as the monitor, on which a segment of an overall display that includes all current monitoring images is displayed. With an operating action involving touching the touchscreen with at least one finger and moving the finger in a direction of movement, the segment is oppositely displaced in a permitted direction of displacement closest to the direction of movement.
