    摘要: In a magnetic resonance (MR) method and apparatus for reconstructing MR tomography images with variable time resolution, a preliminary reconstruction of preview images takes place, using raw data acquired in a closed time period at different times from the same body region of a patient. Scan data are acquired from the preview images and/or from the raw data, the scan data quantitatively representing the introduction of a contrast medium over a time span. Diagnostic reconstruction parameters are then specified, which designate time portions in which reconstruction is to be conducted with different time resolutions, based on the scan data. The reconstruction of diagnostic MR tomography images then takes place, using the diagnostic reconstruction parameters.

    摘要: In a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus and operating method, a first pulse sequence is executed in order to acquire echo signals from a target volume produced by radiation of a radio-frequency (RF) excitation pulse, thereby obtaining an original measurement dataset. A reference measurement dataset is then acquired by executing another pulse sequence immediately after acquisition of the aforementioned echo signals. These steps are repeated until the original measurement dataset has reached a predetermined degree of completeness that is still incomplete according to the Nyquist criterion. The original measurement dataset is then completed using the reference measurement dataset and a parallel acquisition technique.
