In a method for computing MR images of an examination object that performs a cyclic movement, MR signals are detected over at least two cycles of the cyclic movement. In each of these cycles, data for multiple MR images are recorded. Over these cycles, a magnetization of the examination object that influences the MR images approaches a state of equilibrium in a second of these cycles is closer to the state of equilibrium than in a first of these cycles. Movement information for various movement phases of the cyclic movement of the examination object is determined using the MR images from the second cycle, with movement information of the examination object determined for each of the various movement phases. Movement correction of the examination object is carried out in the MR images of the first cycle using the movement information determined in the second cycle.
