ABSTRACT:
In a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for magnetic resonance imaging of a contiguous region of a human body on the basis of partially parallel acquisition (PPA) by excitation of nuclear spins and measurement of radio-frequency signals representing the excited spins, are implemented. A k-space single channel reference image [R_kal] is calculated from the previously measured reference lines of a sub-coil series of N sub-coils with a phase-sensitive combination method. A GRAPPA coefficient matrix [W] is calculated by solving the equation system [R_kal]=[W]×[I_kal] wherein [I_kal] represents one block from the sub-coil series. A k-space single channel image [R] is successively completed by applying [W] to successive blocks [I_z] shifted relative to one another, the blocks [I_z] being of a previously measured, under-sampled sub-coil series of the N sub-coils, and [R] is transformed into image space.
