Patent ID: 8384385

Claim:
A method to detect incorrect magnetic resonance (MR) data in k-space, comprising the steps of: positioning at least two acquisition coils at respective different positions with respect to an examination subject, and detecting MR signals from the examination subject using said at least two acquisition coils; entering MR data, representing the acquired MR signals, into a memory as a plurality of k-space points in k-space in said memory, to form a plurality of raw data sets comprising at least one raw data set for each of said at least two acquisition coils; and accessing said memory from a computer and, in said computer, automatically electronically checking, for at least one of said k-space points, whether the MR data entered at said at least one k-space point should be replaced and, when said checking indicates said MR data entered at said at least one k-space point should be replaced, replacing said MR data entered at said at least one k-space point with reconstructed MR data based on at least two of said raw data sets and spatial information indicating said different positions of the respective at least two acquisition coils.
