Abstract
In a method and a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for distortion correction of MR-acquired scan data of an object, an entry is made into a computer in order to select desired field of view (FOV), in which scan data of the object under examination (U) is to be acquired. An enlarged field of view (gFOV) is created in the computer by enlarging the desired field of view (FOV) in at least one spatial direction. An MR scanner is operated in order to acquire MR scan data in the enlarged field of view. Distortions are corrected in a data set based on scan data from the enlarged field of view, by applying a distortion correction algorithm to that data set. The corrected data set is reduced in the computer to the desired field of view. The reduced corrected data set is made available from the computer for storage and/or display.
