Abstract: The invention relates to a method of MR imaging of an object (10) placed in an examination volume of an MR apparatus (1). It is an object of the invention to enable fast 3D MR imaging that provides motion-compensation and also allows a precise compensation for system imperfections. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: —subjecting the object (10) to a number of shots (S1-S4) of a 3D imaging sequence, wherein a train of MR signals is generated by each shot (S1-S4), each MR signal representing a k-space profile, wherein the set of k-space profiles of each shot (S1-S4) comprises at least one navigator profile and a number of imaging profiles; —acquiring the MR signals; —deriving motion information from the at least one navigator profile; and —reconstructing an MR image from the imaging profiles, wherein a motion-compensation is applied based on the motion information.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for performing a magnetic resonance imaging scan of a patient. For example, a method of performing a magnetic resonance imaging scan on a patient can include monitoring a physiological signal level of the patient, analyzing the monitored physiological signal level, and providing instructions to the patient and/or changing the environmental conditions exposed to the patient. The instructions and/or the change of the environmental conditions of the patient can be based on the monitored physiological signal level. The instructions can include an acoustic command and/or a visual command. The changing of the environmental conditions can include visual simulation, acoustic stimulation and/or air conditioning change.
