Abstract
An object () is placed in an examination volume of a MR device () and imaged using a multi-echo imaging technique which is robust with respect to motion. The imaging includes subjecting the object () to a number of shots of a multi-echo imaging sequence to generate a train of echo signals by each shot and acquiring the echo signals. Each echo signal represents a k-space profile, wherein k-space () is divided into a central k-space part () and one or more peripheral k-space parts (). The central k-space part () is sampled by a single shot of the multi-echo imaging sequence, and the peripheral k-space parts () are sampled by one or more further shots () of the multi-echo sequence; and an MR image is reconstructed from the k-space profiles.
