Abstract:
An MR imaging method for repeatedly generating first to m(.gtoreq.2).sup.th echoes per RF pulse and acquiring data for m views in a k-space from the echoes to acquire data for all views in the k-space, wherein the method comprises the steps of:dividing the k-space into first to m.sup.th segments in a phase axis direction, assigning first to m.sup.th echoes serially to the first to m.sup.th segments, and acquiring data F while applying phase encode based on the assignment;assigning m.sup.th to first echoes serially to the first to m.sup.th segments, and acquiring data R while applying phase encode based on the assignment; andadding the data F and R for each view, and producing an image based on the sum data.
