Patent ID: 7205763

Claim:
A multi-shot method for diffusion-weighted imaging in magnetic resonance tomography, comprising the steps of: entering magnetic resonance data from an examination subject into a k-matrix in a readout direction in a plurality of segments, including a plurality of segments each representing an image dataset, comprising a plurality of image dataset pixels, acquired by reading out echo signals and, for each of said plurality of segments representing an image dataset, substantially simultaneously reading out an associated navigation dataset, comprising a plurality of navigation dataset pixels, and entering said navigation dataset into a central region of said k-matrix; normalizing each navigation dataset to obtain a normalized navigation dataset, also comprising a plurality of pixels; and generating a movement-corrected, diffusion weighted magnetic resonance tomography image by multiplying each image dataset with its associated normalized navigation dataset pixel-by-pixel and combining each multiplication result, to obtain a combined dataset, and Fourier transforming said combined dataset.
