Abstract:
A method for operating a magnetic resonance system, having a phase-coding gradient coil, a radio-frequency coil for registering magnetic resonance signals of a subject which are phase-coded in a phase-coding direction by a phase-coding gradient generated by said phase-coding gradient coil, and a control for reconstructing an image of said subject from the phase-coded magnetic resonance signals, comprising the steps of:manually entering, into said control device, a designation of a reconstruction region of said subject in said phase-coding direction, within which said image of said subject is to be reconstructed from said phase-coded magnetic resonance signals; by said control device, controlling registration of said magnetic resonance signals in said phase-coding direction in said reconstruction region and beyond said reconstruction region, as well as in two supplemental regions disposed at both sides of said reconstruction region in said phase-coding direction and immediately adjoining said reconstruction region; and selecting said supplemental regions independently of each other.
