Abstract

In a method and MR apparatus for the automatic segmentation of flow images acquired by magnetic resonance tomography for the depiction of tissue or organs traversed with fluid such as blood, at least one phase image of a selected region of the subject is acquired by magnetic resonance tomography, and fluid-traversed regions in the at least one phase image are automatically segmented.
