Abstract
During known MRI measurements, for example spin echo and inversion recovery measurements, phase errors occur in pixels, inter alia due to eddy currents caused by the application or interruption of magnetic field gradients during a measurement. There is proposed an inversion recovery method combined with a method where the magnetization is not inverted in advance in order to determine for each pixel the phase error in an image obtained by means of an inversion recovery method, so that inversion recovery images can be obtained which do not contain phase errors.
