Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recording medical images, in particular ultrasound images, of a moving object, in particular of a heart, said method comprising the following steps: generating a movement signal that dynamically represents the state of movement of the moving object, identifying the phase position and the frequency of the moving object on the basis of the movement signal, reconstructing the images on the basis of the phase position and of the frequency and/or carrying out at least one scan of the moving object, with the recording times being adjusted according to the phase position and the frequency of the moving object.
