A system and method for performing a measuring sequence by a magnetic resonance device for examining a patient is provided. The performance of the measuring sequence includes a processing of segments. If at least one determined patient load value exceeds a predetermined limit value, the processing of the measuring sequence for the time frame of exceeding the patient load value is interrupted. The determination of the at least one patient load value includes a detection of a movement of a patient into a changed pose, an adjustment of at least one following segment to the changed pose of the patient, and a determination of at least one patient load value for the adjusted at least one following segment.
