A magnetic resonance imaging system (10) includes an angle indicator module (36), and a display device (40). The angle indicator module (36) adds at least one visual indicator (1) to an image (46) depicting a magic angle (2) orientation relative to a static magnetic B0 field (4) and the image (46), the image (46) reconstructed from magnetic resonance data received in the B0 field (4). The display device (40) displays (74) the image with the visual indicator. A magic angle is an angle of arccos (1/√3) relative to the static magnetic B0 field (4). Moreover, the visual indicator may indicate the likelihood of a magic angle artifact to the operator.
