Claim:
1. A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising a scanning section configured to conduct a scan for acquiring data at grid points contained in a first region in k-space and acquiring data at grid points contained in a second region adjacent to said first region, wherein said scanning section acquires: in a first data acquisition period in which acquisition of data at grid points in k-space is conducted, data at part of a first plurality of grid points lying closer to said second region within said first region, and data at part of a second plurality of grid points lying closer to said first region within said second region; and in a second data acquisition period in which acquisition of data at grid points in k-space is conducted, data at grid points of said first plurality of grid points other than those at which data are acquired in said first data acquisition period, and data at grid points of said second plurality of grid points other than those at which data are acquired in said first data acquisition period; said magnetic resonance apparatus further comprising a determining unit configured to determine grid points for which data are to be acquired in said first data acquisition period and grid points for which data are to be acquired in said second data acquisition period; wherein said determining unit comprises a numbering unit configured to assign numbers to grid points in k-space; a defining unit configured to define a border between said first and second regions; and an exchanging unit configured to exchange numbers assigned to part of said first plurality of grid points with those assigned to part of said second plurality of grid points; and wherein said scanning section acquires in said first data acquisition period, data at grid points whose numbers are not exchanged by said exchanging unit within said first region, and data at grid points whose numbers are exchanged by said exchanging unit within said second region, and in said second data acquisition period, data at grid points whose numbers are exchanged by said exchanging unit within said first region, and data at grid points whose numbers are not exchanged by said exchanging unit within said second region.
