In a method for planning of an angiography measurement of a body region in a magnetic resonance system, the body region being larger than the maximum field of view of the magnetic resonance system, and wherein the MR system has a control unit for controlling the workflow of the angiographic measurement, an upper boundary and a lower boundary of the body region are established. The control unit divides the body region into sub-measurement regions and sub-measurements dependent on the established boundaries. The sub-measurement regions and sub-measurements are measured in succession. The arrival of an injected test bolus of a contrast agent into the various sub-measurement regions is detected using MR measurements. The transit time of the test bolus through the body region for the angiographic measurement is determined, and the control unit also determines the workflow of the angiography measurement, including determining the sequence of the measurements of the sub-measurement regions and the time duration of the individual sub-measurements for the sub-measurement regions.
