Abstract:
1. A method to determine a position of a slice of an examination subject relative to a region of the examination subject, the region moving relative to the slice, within a predetermined volume of the examination subject, comprising: operating a magnetic resonance data acquisition unit, in which the examination subject is located, to acquire spatially resolved data representing a physical property within the slice at multiple points in time, to produce a time curve of said physical property for at least one voxel of the slice, said physical property being selected from the group consisting of temperature, flow speed of a fluid in the examination subject, a diffusion coefficient of diffusion of a substance in the examination subject, and a result of a spectral analysis; and in a processor, using said time curve to automatically determine the position of the slice relative to the region at defined points in time.
