ABSTRACT:
In a method and magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for evaluation of a cinematographic image series of the heart during a heart cycle, wherein the image series is acquired with an acquisition unit, and in the image series healthy heart muscle tissue is presented as differentiable from damaged heart muscle tissue, at least two individual images of the image series are processed in a data processing unit, with at least one region of the healthy heart muscle and/or of the damaged heart muscle being detected in each of the individual images by a pattern recognition algorithm, and at least one descriptive quantity is measured that describes a geometric property of the region that has been detected by the pattern recognition algorithm, a dynamic change of the descriptive quantity is detected, and medically-relevant information that is acquired from the dynamic change of the descriptive quantity is made available as an output.
