Abstract:
A method for reconstructing a planar tomogram of an examination subject from magnetic resonance signals in an inhomogeneous magnetic field with a magnetic resonance device having at least one of a known inhomogeneous main magnetic field and a known non-linear gradient magnetic field, comprising the steps of:generating original image elements by multi-slice excitation of the examination subject, the original image elements being generated from magnetic resonance signals of original volume elements, said original volume elements being disposed in the examination subject in several curved slices which are adjacent to one another in succession;determining a spatial position of the original image elements by means of the known magnetic fields; andgenerating image elements of a planar tomogram which are representative of volume elements of a planar slice situated within the curved slice, from the original image elements that are arranged in an environment of the respective image elements.
