A method is for adapting a parameter of a parameter set for a magnetic resonance measurement of an examination object. An embodiment of the method includes choosing a parameter set required for the magnetic resonance measurement of the examination object determining at least one interaction indicator applicable to an interaction between electromagnetic radiation and a tissue of the examination object comparing the interaction indicator with a previously defined upper limit for the interaction indicator and, upon the upper limit being exceeded, determining a group of parameters from the parameter set, adaptable with a view to complying with the upper limit. The method further includes calculating a modification suggestion for a multiplicity of parameters from the group with a view to complying with the upper limit, identifying a parameter to optimize a quality parameter of the magnetic resonance measurement, and adapting the identified parameter in accordance with its modification suggestion.
