Patent ID: 7622923

Claim:
A method for acquiring magnetic resonance measurement data from a subject, comprising the steps of: providing an electronic repository for said measurement data, designated as k-space, and electronically dividing k-space into an inner region and an outer region; electronically dividing said inner region into a plurality of inner segments that respectively differ from each other in terms of respective distances from the center of k-space; electronically dividing said outer region into a plurality of outer segments that respectively differ from each other in terms of distance from the center of k-space; electronically entering first k-space data into said inner region in k-space lines of said inner region, and dividing said k-space lines of said inner region into first groups with k-space lines from different ones of said inner segments being associated in each of said first groups, and successively entering said first k-space data into said first groups; and electronically entering second k-space data into said outer region in k-space lines of said outer region, and dividing said k-space lines of said outer region into second groups with k-space lines from different ones of said outer segments being associated in each of said second groups, and successively entering said second k-space data into said second groups.
