Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is provided. A first sampling mask is provided for sampling along a first set of parallel lines extending in a first direction in k-space. A second sampling mask is provided for sampling along a second set of parallel lines extending in a second direction in k-space. The second direction is orthogonal to the first direction. A first set of MR k-space data is sampled using an MR scanner, by scanning a subject in the first direction using the first sampling mask. A second set of MR k-space data is sampled using the MR scanner, by scanning the subject in the second direction using the second sampling mask. An MR image is reconstructed from a combined set of MR k-space data including the first set of MR k-space data and the second set of MR k-space data.
