Method of collecting image data of MRI and magnetic resonance imaging apparatus

A method of collecting image data in magnetic resonance imaging, in which a motion signal of an object to be examined is detected, said motion signal including pulses, and image data of a plurality of continuously arranged imaging regions of the object to be examined are collected on the basis of the detected motion signal, the method comprising the steps of:

• deciding a sequential order for collecting image data of the plurality of imaging regions;
• deciding synchronizing information related to at least two imaging regions of the plurality of imaging regions, said at least two imaging regions being synchronized with at least two different pulses of the motion signal, respectively;
• and
• exciting and collecting the image data of the plurality of imaging regions on the basis of the synchronizing information and the sequential order.

A method of collecting image data in magnetic resonance imaging, in which a motion signal of an object to be examined is detected, said motion signal including pulses, and image data of a plurality of continuously arranged imaging regions of the object to be examined are collected on the basis of the detected motion signal, the method comprising the steps of:

• deciding a sequential order for collecting image data of the plurality of imaging regions, the sequential order being arranged in order of a clinical importance of said imaging regions;
• exciting and collecting the image data of the plurality of imaging regions in synchronization with one of the pulses of the motion signal on the basis of the sequential order;
• and
• repeating the excitation and collection of the image data of the plurality of imaging regions at every repetition time.
