Abstract: In a method for recording magnetic resonance data in a target region of a patient while the target region moves due to respiration a single-shot turbo spin echo sequence is used as a magnetic resonance sequence in a magnetic resonance apparatus. SPAIR fat saturation is used by emitting an inversion pulse at an inversion time before the data recording with the magnetic resonance apparatus. Multiple repetitions of the sequence of an inversion pulse, an inversion time and a data recording using the magnetic resonance sequence are triggered by a respiratory signal describing the respiratory cycle, each repetition occurring upon fulfillment of a recording criterion. At least one further inversion pulse is emitted in a waiting time between the sequences.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance method and system to determine a position of a slice relative to a region moving relative to the slice within a predetermined volume segment of an examination subject located in the magnetic resonance system, a physical property within the slice is detected with spatial resolution at multiple points in time, such that a time curve of the physical property is detected for at least one voxel of the slice. The position of the slice relative to the region is determined with respect to defined points in time, depending on the time curve.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance (MR) method and apparatus for spatially resolved determination of at least one MR parameter that influences an MR signal detected in an MR measurement of a region of an examination subject, first complex image data and second complex image data, respectively acquired with different acquisition coils and at different echo times in an echo imaging sequence, are provided to a processor. The different image data sets have complex image points that correspond with each other with regard to the imaged volume element of the examination subject. The MR parameter is determined in the processor for at least a portion of these image points by determination of an image point vector respectively for the first and second echo times and by combining the image point vectors to at least partially compensate echo time-independent phase or magnitude portions in the acquired image data.

Abstract: In a method and system for phase-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging, a respective, complex image data set provided to a processor for each of at least two different echo times, the complex image data sets for the different echo times having been reconstructed from magnetic resonance data that acquired for the different echo times using an echo imaging sequence, at least one complex division image data set is determined in the processor by complex division of the complex image data sets for the two different echo times. The two different echo times define an echo time difference, so the resulting complex division image data set has phase components that are dependent on the echo time difference.

Abstract: In a method or system for magnetic resonance imaging based temperature monitoring for real-time feedback to a physician for a cryoablation therapy of a lesion which creates an ice ball of the lesion to induce cell death, the magnetic resonance imaging system, using proton resonance frequency imaging, obtains a real-time temperature image of the ice ball of the lesion undergoing the cryoablation therapy and the adjacent surrounding tissue. By use of an algorithm, correcting temperature errors at a border of the ice ball are corrected in the real-time image, the temperature error correction correcting susceptibility contrast errors caused by a distortion of the local magnetic field at the border of the ice ball.
