Abstract
A method for acquiring a magnetic resonance image dataset of a subject is disclosed, wherein k-space is sampled during the acquisition in a plurality of k-space lines having different positions in the phase encoding direction. The method includes: sampling a first part of k-space by acquiring a number of k-space lines; determining a subject motion trajectory including motion data of the subject at one or several time points during the acquisition; associating the motion data with the positions along the phase encoding direction(s) of the k-space lines which were or will be acquired at the time points of the motion data; analyzing the distribution of the motion data in k-space and calculating a metric of variation of the motion data; and selecting the positions of the k-space lines of a next part of k-space to be acquired in the imaging protocol, depending on the metric of variation.
