Abstract:
A method for obtaining images by means of magnetic resonance (MR) of an object placed in a static magnetic field comprising the following steps:generating an excitation RF pulse in a part of the body,measuring a plurality of sets of MR signals using a plurality of receiver coils along a trajectory in k-space comprising a first plurality of lines by application of a read gradient and other gradients,reconstructing a final image from a combination of the plurality of sets of MR signals measured and distance dependent sensitivities of the plurality of receiver coils, reconstructing-receiver coil images from each set of MR signals measured respectively, andreconstructing the final image from a combination of the receiver coil images and the distance dependent sensitivities of the received coils, said combination including images from at least one set of MR signals.
