Abstract:
1. A method for triggered acquisition of magnetic resonance data in a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, comprising the steps of: from a control unit, operating a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, in which an examination subject exhibiting naturally occurring, substantially periodic movement is located, to acquire magnetic resonance data forming at least one image data set, by implementing a plurality of partial data acquisitions in succession, each data acquisition resulting in acquisition of a respective segment of said at least one image data set; detecting, via said control device, a reference point in time of a movement phase of said movement of the examination subject independently of each partial data acquisition and, from said control unit, automatically triggering the respective partial data acquisitions using said reference point in time, with a wait time having a duration between an end of each partial data acquisition and a beginning of a next partial data acquisition; and in said control unit, automatically adapting said duration of said wait time to the point in time at which said reference point in time is detected.
