Abstract
In the generation of MR angiography images of a predetermined three-dimensional volume segment of a living examination subject using means a magnetic resonance system, MR data in the volume segment are acquired by radial acquisition of k-space. The MR data are analyzed in order to subdivide the MR data into groups, with each group including only the MR data that correspond to a specific heart beat phase of the heat of the examination subject. MR angiography images are generated based only on the MR data of one of these groups.
