ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance method for imaging a curved portion of a body in which only MR signals in the curved portion of the body are generated by pulse sequences which include RF pulses and temporary magnetic fields. From the received MR signals an image of the curved portion can be reconstructed by use of linear transformations.
