In an MRI method and apparatus a 3D magnetic resonance scan sequence is performed to acquire MR raw data, which are entered into k-space with 2D CAIPIRINHA undersampling. The sampled data are reorganized into data blocks that each contain one sampled k-space location. The data blocks are extracted from k-space in a predetermined sequence, and image data are reconstructed from the k-space data respectively in the extracted data blocks. The application of the 2D CAIPIRINHA undersampling method with corresponding reorganized data blocks into a 3D scan sequence, in particular a SPACE scan sequence, significantly improves the comfort of an examination subject as well as the overall image quality thereof.
