Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance imaging suppresses off-resonance gradient-induced image artifacts due to metal. The method includes performing by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus two multi-spectral imaging (MSI) acquisitions within a field of view of the MRI apparatus, where the two MSI acquisitions have alternating-sign readout gradients. The two MSI acquisitions are then processed and combined by the MRI apparatus using a weighted image combination to produce a final image.
