Abstract

Disclosed herein is a magnetic resonance imaging system () controlled by a processor (). The execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to sort () multiple preparatory scan commands () into fixed duration preparatory scan commands () and indeterminate duration preparatory scan commands (). The execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to first control () the magnetic resonance imaging system with the indeterminate duration preparatory scan commands and then () with the fixed duration preparatory scan commands. The execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to calculate () a gradient pulse starting time (). The execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to provide () the warning signal at a predetermined time () before the gradient pulse starting time. The execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to control () the magnetic resonance imaging system with pulse sequence commands to acquire the k-space data such that the execution of the gradient coil pulse commands begins at the pulse starting time.
