Patent ID: 8461837

Claim:
A method to display progress of acquisition of magnetic resonance measurement data from an examination region of an examination subject, comprising the steps of: continuously moving an examination subject, comprising an examination region, through a magnetic resonance data acquisition apparatus in a feed direction and, with said magnetic resonance data acquisition apparatus, successively acquiring magnetic resonance measurement data from the examination region of the examination subject during continuous travel of the examination region through the magnetic resonance apparatus; entering current axial magnetic resonance measurement data, acquired in a plane of the subject that is orthogonal to said feed direction, into k-space, comprising a central k-space region, in a memory during the continuous travel of the examination region through the magnetic resonance data acquisition apparatus; from a processor, accessing said memory and automatically calculating a current coronal or sagittal projection image of the examination region based on said current axial measurement data in said central k-space region during said continuous travel of the examination region through the magnetic resonance data acquisition apparatus; and displaying the current coronal or sagittal projection image contemporaneously with calculation thereof by said processor.
