Method for assigning a spatial orientation to a movement signal of a movement of an examination object of a magnetic resonance examination, magnetic resonance apparatus, and computer program product

A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to assign a spatial orientation to a movement signal of a movement of an examination object of a magnetic resonance examination, the processor being configured to assign the spatial orientation to the movement signals comprising the processor being configured to:
• capture a first movement signal in a capture period using a first movement capture method, the first movement signal having a first component and a second component;
• capture at least one further movement signal using at least one further movement capture method during the capture period;
• assign a spatial orientation to the first component or the second component of the first movement signal, the assignment comprising a comparison of the first movement signal with the at least one further movement signal;
• and
• determine the movement of the examination object using the assigned spatial orientation.

In a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions executable by one or more processors to assign a spatial orientation to a movement signal of a movement of an examination object of a magnetic resonance examination, the instructions comprising:

• capturing a first movement signal in a capture period using a first movement capture method, the first movement signal having a first component and a second component;
• capturing at least one further movement signal using at least one further movement capture method during the capture period;
• assigning a spatial orientation to the first component or the second component of the first movement signal, the assigning comprising comparing the first movement signal with the at least one further movement signal;
• and
• determining the movement of the examination object using the assigned spatial orientation.
