Abstract: The invention concerns a method to generate an MR image of an examination subject of MR signals of the examination subject being detected with a receiver coil element of a magnetic resonance system. A spatially related sensitivity is determined for the receiver coil element. A mask is generated for the receiver coil element depending on the sensitivity of the receiver coil element in order to therewith mask a region of the MR image, in which region the receiver coil element has at least one predetermined sensitivity. At least one RF excitation pulse and at least one magnetic field gradient are activated to acquire MR data with the receiver coil element, and a preliminary MR image is generated depending on MR data acquired therewith. The mask of the receiver coil element is applied to the preliminary MR image in order to generate an MR image of the receiver coil element, and an MR image of the examination subject is generated from the MR image for the receiver coil element.

Abstract: In a method to select an undersampling scheme of k-space and an associated set of reconstruction kernels to acquire reduced magnetic resonance (MR) data sets with multiple coils, a calibration data set is acquired for each of the respective coils, a noise covariance is determined from autocorrelations and correlations of the noise of the various coils. At least one set of reconstruction kernels is calculated for each of the multiple undersampling schemes from the calibration data sets of the various coils. For each set of reconstruction kernels, a characteristic value is calculated from the noise covariance and the respective reconstruction kernels of the coils, with the characteristic value being proportional to a spatial mean value of a signal noise of an MR image. A selected undersampling scheme and a selected set of reconstruction kernels are selected based on the calculated characteristic values.

Abstract: In a method for automatically detecting contrast enhancement at predetermined phases as a contrast agent bolus perfuses a target tissue volume in a patient, a continuous acquisition MRI imaging system is provided for obtaining dynamic contrast enhanced MRI data for use in creating images. The contrast agent bolus is injected into a blood stream of the patient which passes through the target volume. With the imaging system, a center of a k-space of the target volume is repeatedly sampled to obtain k-space data. A bolus time curve signal is automatically extracted from the k-space data which indicates a course of bolus contrast enhancement which is used to automatically pick time frames at the predetermined phases of the perfusion which are then used to identify corresponding key images to be obtained at the time frames.
