Method for acquiring magnetic resonance data from a large examination region

摘要

In a method for magnetic resonance data acquisition from an examination region, that is larger than a maximum acquisition region of the magnetic resonance apparatus, a planning data set is generated and that is used to establish the examination region and the examination region is automatically separated into a number of acquisition regions by a computer. Each of the acquisition regions is limited in terms of its dimensions by the maximum acquisition region. A measurement protocol is created that includes parameters that are applicable for all acquisition regions and parameters applicable specifically for only one acquisition region. The acquisition regions are automatically positioned in series within the maximum acquisition volume with the measurement protocol in order to generate a measurement data set for each acquisition region. The measurement data sets are subsequently combined.
