In a method for determining imaging parameters for a Magnetic Resonance (MR) image, a set of image sequence parameters of the imaging sequence is determined, a frequency offset of off-resonant tissue potentially present in the object under examination is determined, an allowed maximum position shift of the off-resonant tissue along a slice selection direction is determined, a rotation angle which leads to the allowed maximum shift for the off-resonant tissue is determined based on the determined set of image sequence parameters, and the determined rotation angle is provided to the MR imaging system to allow the MR imaging system to generate the MR image using the determined rotation angle in the imaging sequence.
