ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for generation of magnetic resonance images, a number of three-dimensional volume data sets of a subject are acquired in k-space, with each three-dimensional volume data set being acquired with a non-constant density. Filtered three-dimensional volume data sets are generated in k-space, which are assembled from a number of the three-dimensional volume data sets. Three-dimensional image data sets are reconstructed on the basis of filtered three-dimensional volume data sets.
