ABSTRACT:
A method for MR imaging in an inhomogeneous magnetic field substantially without inhomogeneity induced artifacts is disclosed. The method includes acquiring more than one line of K-space per pulse sequence. The K-space data is acquired in partial line segments. The method allows shorter imaging times and higher image quality than conventional imaging methods for inhomogeneous fields.
