ABSTRACT:
A method of imaging a portion of a body placed in a static magnetic field by means of magnetic resonance (MR) includes the measurement of ECG data of the body in the form of a vector cardiogram, and determination of an acquisition period from the ECG data, including directional information in the vector cardiogram, in order to synchronize measurement of MR signals to a cyclic movement of the body.
