Abstract: A diagnostic imaging system (1), in particular a magnetic resonance imaging system. The diagnostic imaging system comprises control system (2) to control the execution of operational items by the diagnostic imaging system. A user interface (3) is coupled to the control system, the user interface including a scheduler module which forms an ordered selection of operational items. The operational items are executed on the basis of the ordered selection. The ordered selection concerns the order, timing and conditions to be fulfilled to execute the operational items. Notably, in an magnetic resonance imaging system the actual acquisition concerns the execution of acquisition pulse sequences to receive magnetic resonance signals which is carried out for the planned geometry, the preferred embodiment comprises a patient support that can be moved among various positions which is used in a multi-station examination.
