MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING COORDINATED WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL CYCLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus using a usable measuring time as favorably as possible in MR imaging for acquiring MT data coordinated with a physiological cycle.SOLUTION: To carry out magnetic resonance (MR) tomography, a physiological parameter 31 of an examination object is acquired as a function of time to recognize a physiological cycle which repeats itself over time. First MR data is acquired for a first region, wherein all points of the first region are arranged in a preliminarily-given region of a field of view of an MR system. Acquisition 41 of the first MR data occurs selectively in first time intervals which are synchronized with the physiological cycle and are separated from each other by waiting intervals 40. Second MR data is acquired for a second region which adjoins the first region. Acquisition 42 of the second MR data occurs in the waiting intervals 40 between the first time intervals.
