A method is disclosed for correction of truncations of a magnetic resonance image of an object under examination in the reconstruction of image data from raw data. In at least one embodiment, the method includes determining a number of one-dimensional projections of imaged field of view in the Radon space from the raw data in order to obtain a projection profile; checking each projection profile for whether the projection profile exhibits a truncation; if the respective checked projection profile exhibits a truncation, expanding the projection profile for correcting the truncation in that the projection profile is extrapolated in accordance with a predetermined extrapolation model in the area in which it exhibits the truncation; and reconstructing image data based on the expanded projection profiles in which the truncation of the image of the object under examination is corrected.

A method is disclosed for correction of truncations of an image of an object under examination in the reconstruction of image data from raw data which has been recorded with a magnetic resonance system from a field of view of the magnetic resonance system, with an object under examination which is located in the field of view of the magnetic resonance system being imaged in the raw data, and with the image recorded by the raw data of the object under examination being truncated at the edge of the field of view if at least one part of the object under examination is located outside the field of view. In at least one embodiment, the method includes determining a number of one-dimensional projections of the imaged field of view in the Radon space from the recorded raw data in order to obtain a projection profile of the image object under examination over the field of view in each case; checking each projection profile for whether the projection profile exhibits a truncation which is caused by the at least one part of the object under examination being located outside the field of view; if the respective checked projection profile exhibits a truncation, expanding the projection profile for correcting the truncation in that the projection profile is extrapolated in accordance with a predetermined extrapolation model in the area in which it exhibits the truncation; and reconstructing image data based on the expanded projection profiles in which the truncation of the image of the object under examination is corrected.

A transmitter for pilot tone navigation in a magnetic resonance tomography system includes a power supply and an antenna. The transmitter is configured to transmit a pilot tone signal via the antenna. The transmitter also includes a decoupling element in order to protect a transmitter output from signals that the antenna receives with excitation pulses of the magnetic resonance tomography system during a magnetic resonance tomography. In a method, movement-dependent changes to the pilot tone signal of the transmitter are identified by a controller of the magnetic resonance tomography system.

In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus to image a partial region of an examination subject by means of a multislice measurement, which partial region includes at least two measurement slices, and is located at least in part at the edge of a field of view of the magnetic resonance apparatus, for each voxel to be optimized that is located at the edge of the field of view, a gradient field is configured for each measurement slice of the partial region that is to be measured and is used to acquire magnetic resonance data in the multislice measurement. The gradient field is configured so as to cause a nonlinearity of the gradient field and a B0 field inhomogeneity to cancel at each of the aforementioned voxel to be optimized at the partial region at the edge of the field of view. An image of the partial region of the examination subject is determined from the magnetic resonance data acquired in this manner.

A method is provided for ascertaining at least one item of movement information describing a sought movement as a partial movement of an overall movement in an at least partially moved examination region. In the method, at least one excitation signal having a first frequency band is output and receiving signals generated by the excitation signal are recorded with a receiving coil arrangement, (e.g., a receiving coil arrangement of a magnetic resonance device), having a plurality of receiving channels. The coils of the receiving coil arrangement are designed to record a receiving frequency band including the first frequency band, wherein for ascertaining the movement information the complex receiving signals of the receiving channels are combined at one instant according to a combination specification ascertained over a period by an analysis of the receiving signals that identifies at least one component of a movement that contributes to the sought movement.

The invention concerns a method to generate an MR image of an examination subject of MR signals of the examination subject being detected with a receiver coil element of a magnetic resonance system. A spatially related sensitivity is determined for the receiver coil element. A mask is generated for the receiver coil element depending on the sensitivity of the receiver coil element in order to therewith mask a region of the MR image, in which region the receiver coil element has at least one predetermined sensitivity. At least one RF excitation pulse and at least one magnetic field gradient are activated to acquire MR data with the receiver coil element, and a preliminary MR image is generated depending on MR data acquired therewith. The mask of the receiver coil element is applied to the preliminary MR image in order to generate an MR image of the receiver coil element, and an MR image of the examination subject is generated from the MR image for the receiver coil element.

A method is disclosed for determining a location of a subarea of an area under examination in a magnetic resonance system. The subarea is arranged at the edge of a field-of-view of the magnetic resonance system. In at least one embodiment of the method, at least one slice position is determined for an MR image in which the B0 field at the edge of the MR image satisfies a homogeneity value. For the slice position determined an MR image is acquired which contains the subarea at the edge of the field-of-view and the location of the subarea of the object under examination is determined through the location of the subarea in the MR image.
