Abstract
The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging system () for determining an approximation () of an electric conductivity distribution within a three-dimensional anatomical structure of interest. The determining comprises acquiring a first set of (3-n)-dimensional magnetic resonance data (), reconstructing a (3-n)-dimensional phase distribution () using the (3-n)-dimensional magnetic resonance data (), calculating a (3-n)-dimensional electric conductivity distribution () using spatial derivatives within the (3-n) dimensions and applying to the (3-n)-dimensional electric conductivity distribution () a scaling factor compensating for the relative reduction of dimensions by n.
