Abstract
A method for acquiring one or multiple two-dimensional magnetic resonance image of a slice through a region of interest may include receiving a gradient field map defining a transformation from a real space to a gradient space, the gradient space being distorted with respect to the real space due to a non-linearity of the gradients; receiving a nominal size, position and orientation of a target slice in real space; transforming a set of points within the target slice into gradient space, resulting in a distorted set of points defining a distorted slice in gradient space; calculating the position and orientation of a new slice, which approximates the position and orientation of the distorted slice, by shifting and/or tilting the target slice; acquiring a two-dimensional magnetic resonance image by excitation of the new slice; and performing a two-dimensional distortion correction of the two-dimensional image to remove in-plane distortions.
