Phase offset determination in magnetic resonance imaging

The present invention relates to a method for Magnetic Resonance Imaging to depict an object by an image having pixels representing volume element of the object. The method comprises: Immobilizing the object and acquiring a reference image at a first echo time immediately following an excitation, wherein said reference image is complex-valued, with a reference magnitude value and a reference phase value for each pixel; acquiring a target image of the object with said receiver coil at a pre-selected second echo time, wherein said target image is complex-valued, with a target magnitude value and a target phase value for each pixel; subtracting, pixel by pixel, the reference phase value from the target phase value to obtain a corrected phase value for each pixel; and obtaining said image from said target magnitude values and said corrected phase values.
