    摘要: For operating an MR scanner (5), which comprises gradient coils (7) for generating a field gradient along coordinate axes of a coil coordinate system (X, Y, Z), limit values concerning the field gradient in the coil coordinate system (X, Y, Z) and an MR scan protocol are received. Expected orientations of a logical coordinate system (R, P, S) are determined and for each of them, a compliant value for a timing parameter is determined and stored in a database. The MR scanner (5) is controlled to carry out an MR scan and afterwards the orientation is set to a first orientation. A first value for the timing parameter according to the first orientation is determined based on the database and the MR scanner (5) is controlled to carry out a scan sequence according to the first orientation and first value.

    摘要: According to a method for operating an MRI system (1), an orientation of a logical coordinate system (R, P, S) and a first limit value concerning components of a magnetic field gradient in a coil coordinate system (X, Y, Z) are received. A second limit value concerning respective components of the magnetic field gradient in a logical coordinate system (R, P, S) is determined depending on the orientation and the first limit value. A gradient sequence for the logical coordinate system (R, P, S) is determined depending on the second limit value to implement a k-space sampling scheme. The MRI system (1) is controlled to carry out an MRI scan according to the k-space sampling scheme and the gradient sequence.
