ABSTRACT:
In a magnetic resonance (MR) image reconstruction method and MR apparatus, for raw MR data are acquired with the propeller technique, and k-space sampling ensues in sub-data sets. The sample points of each sub-data set correspond to grid points of a Cartesian initial grid and the Cartesian initial grid of the sub-data sets can be brought into congruence by rotation: A Cartesian final grid is selected, and a calculation-based transfer of the data points of each sub-data set ensues to a respective new grid that exhibits the orientation of the respective sub-data set and the grid constants of the final grid, if the grid constants of the output grid differ from those of the final grid. A calculation-based transfer of the data points of each sub-data set, or the data points of a respective new grid (if obtained) ensures to the final grid by the application of a rotation module followed by transformation of the acquired data into the image domain.
