(57) Abstract :
The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a main magnet coil (2) for generating a uniform steady
magnetic field within an examination volume a number of gradient coils (4 5 6) for generating switched magnetic field gradients
in different spatial directions within the examination volume at least one cardiac RF coil (11) for transmitting RF pulses to and/or
receiving MR signals from the chest region of a body (10) of a patient positioned in the examination volume a control unit (13)
for controlling the temporal succession of RF pulses and switched magnetic field gradients and a reconstruction unit (15) for
reconstructing a MR image from the MR signals. region of the body (10) is accessible
