these gradients being in the read phase and slice direction depending on their position the gradients used in a sequence are composed of the gradients individually or in any combination the gradient coils 9 10 and 11 or the fields generated therewith are as is known required for spatial encoding a phase encoding is produced scanned by repeatedly varying at least one current feed value of one of the gradient coils 9 10 and 11 fig2 shows a flowchart for recording a three dimensional magnetic resonance image data record of a left ventricle of the heart this can be segmented using the described method for instance in step s 1 the patient is positioned in the magnetic resonance apparatus 1 wherein the basic settings such as shimming or determining the axis positions are also performed with the aid of scout scans a gadolinium based contrast agent is administered in step s 2 the three dimensional image data record will be recorded at a predetermined time following administration of the gadolinium in step s 3 this can be recorded segmented i e with interruptions it can however also be acquired u201c in one step u201d a recording method of this type is known for instance from shin et al rapid single breath hold 3d late gadolinium enhancement cardiac mri using a stack of spirals acquisition jmri 40 1496 1502 2013 the recording parameters are selected here such that the myocardial tissue provides no signal and thus has minimal or disregarding the noise signal no signal values in the image data record this can be achieved for instance by suitably selecting an inversion time see above finally the measured signals thus recorded are processed in step s 4 inter alia a fourier transform takes place so that a three dimensional.
