Abstract
The invention relates to a method of MR imaging of an object (). It is an object of the invention to enable MR imaging using radial acquisition with a reduced level of phase distortions and corresponding image artefacts. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: a) generating MR signals by subjecting the object to an imaging sequence comprising RF pulses and switched magnetic field gradients; b) acquiring the MR signals as radial k-space profiles, wherein pairs of spatially adjacent k-space profiles are acquired in opposite directions and wherein k-space profiles acquired in temporal proximity are close to each other in k-space; c) reconstructing an MR image from the acquired MR signals. Moreover, the invention relates to a MR device () and to a computer program for a MR device ().
