ABSTRACT:
A method is provided to image an organ of the human or animal body using and acquisition device rotating over an angle, in that the rotation speed of the rotating acquisition device is modulated dependent on a reference signal that represents a current movement state of the organ to be imaged. Additionally or alternatively, the measurement interval in which the acquisition of the organ ensures during the rotation can respectively be adapted using the reference signal to a cycle duration of the movement of the organ to be imaged. Moreover, a corresponding apparatus to implement such a method is provided.
