Abstract
In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus in which excitation pulses are applied to a restricted region 5 of a magnetic resonance imaging magnet bore, in which the field is uniform, and the data samples collected are Fourier transformed to form a volumetric image of the restricted region, a motor 6 continuously moves a patient couch 3 so that a region of interest passes through the region of good field, and the data samples collected are corrected to compensate for the motion so that a volumetric image is formed of greater length than that of the restricted region.
