Abstract
The disclosure relates to nuclear spin tomography equipment in which means (22, 24) are provided for the control of the acquisition of the Fourier rows of the measurement matrix as a function of a respiration signal. The equipment includes a Fourier row counter (25) which influences a circuit (26) that controls the measurement signal acquisition. In a first embodiment of the invention the measurement signal acquisition is always released for all rows outside a predetermined region, but is a function of the respiration phase signal inside this region. The predetermined row region may comprise approximately 10% of all rows to be measured and should lie symmetrically about the center of the matrix. A further reduction of the measuring time is realized, according to another embodiment of the invention, by dispensing altogether with measurement in the row edge region of the matrix.
