ABSTRACT:
An incomplete set of magnetic resonance image data is collected and stored in a view memory (40). The incomplete set of image data includes a central or first set of data values (42, 42') and a side or second set of data values (44, 44'). The central data set is operated on by a roll-off filter (64) and a Fourier transform (66) to create a normalized phase map (72). The first and second data sets are Fourier transformed (82) and phase corrected (86) by being multiplied with a complex conjugate (88) of the corresponding phase map data value. A third data set (46, 46') is generated (90) by determining the complex conjugate of the second or side data set. The third data set is Fourier transformed (94) and multiplied (98) by a corresponding value from the phase map to produce a second phase corrected image representation. The first and second phase corrected image representations are summed (100) and stored in a resultant image memory (102).
