ABSTRACT:
A method of magnetic resonance imaging of a part of the body (106) arranged in a substantially uniform, static magnetic field where, in order to follow a dynamic process in the body, the temporal resolution is enhanced by successively generating MR signals which are associated with only a part of a reference set of lines in the k-space. After the generating and sampling of a series of MR signals associated with the lines of the part of the reference set, a reconstruction set is renewed and an image of the part of the body is reconstructed from the reconstruction set by a processing unit (110) executing a 2D Fourier transformation, said image subsequently being displayed on a monitor (111). In order to counteract motion artefacts, for example echo images of contours of objects in the image, the associated lines of the part of the reference set are uniformly distributed in the k-space during the generating of MR signals.
