A method and apparatus for controlling the generation of a magnetic resonance imaging sequence

摘要

A magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus and method for controlling a generation of an imaging sequence for imaging a subject. The method includes generating an MR tracking sequence for tracking a position of an MR active device located in the subject; obtaining MR signals detected by the MR active device as a result of the generated tracking sequence; processing the obtained MR signals to determine the position of the MR active device; determining whether a trigger condition is satisfied by comparing the determined position of the MR active device to a predetermined trigger position; and generating the imaging sequence if the trigger condition is satisfied, wherein if the trigger condition is not satisfied, the imaging sequence is not generated.
