Abstract
The invention relates to a method of MR imaging of an object () positioned in an examination volume of a MR device (). It is an object of the invention to enable efficient spiral MR imaging even in situations of strong Bo inhomogeneity. The method of the invention comprises: subjecting the object () to an imaging sequence comprising at least one RF excitation pulse and sinusoidally modulated magnetic field gradients, acquiring MR signals along two or more spiral k-space trajectories () as determined by the sinusoidal modulation of the magnetic field gradients, wherein the origins of the spiral k-space trajectories are offset from each other, and 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 ().
