Abstract
Disclosed herein is a medical system () comprising a memory () storing machine executable instructions (). The medical system further comprises a computational system (). Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the computational system to: receive () initial pulse sequence commands (), wherein the initial pulse sequence commands are configured for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging system () to acquire k-space data () following a non-Cartesian k-space sampling pattern ('), wherein the initial pulse sequence commands are configured for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system to sample the non-Cartesian k-space sampling pattern by repeatedly sampling a Cartesian k-space sampling pattern () that is rotated for each acquisition, wherein the non-Cartesian k-space sampling pattern has an effective water-fat shift direction (′); receive () a chosen water-fat shift direction (); and construct () modified pulse sequence commands by rotating the non-Cartesian k-space sampling pattern such that the effective water-fat shift direction is aligned with the water-fat shift direction.
