ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging system comprises means for generating a main magnetic field with a main magnetic field strength an a plurality of magnetic resonance signal receiving positions, provided by one or more receiver antennae. The receiver antennae or coils have a spatial sensitivity profile for acquiring magnetic resonance signals at a predetermined degree of undersampling. Further means for reconstructing a magnetic resonance image from the set of undersampled magnetic resonance signals and the spatial sensitivity profiles are provided. In addition, means are provided for determining the degree of undersampling (R) in dependency of the given main field strength (B0) and the selected field-of-view (FOV).
