Abstract

In a method and apparatus for identifying an organ structure of an examined object in magnetic resonance image data, magnetic resonance measurement data for the organ structure of the examined object are acquired by operation of a magnetic resonance scanner using a magnetic resonance sequence that specifies a sampling scheme of k-space. Magnetic resonance image data are reconstructed from the magnetic resonance measurement data. The organ structure is identified in the magnetic resonance image data. The sampling scheme of k-space is selected so as to support the subsequent identification of the organ structure in the magnetic resonance image data reconstructed from the magnetic resonance measurement data.
