Abstract
The invention relates to an MR method in which the deterioration of the image quality by the concomitant gradients is reduced or eliminated by imposing a temporal variation on the magnetic fields acting in the examination zone during the time interval between the excitation of the nuclear magnetization and the reception of the MR signal such that the spatial distribution of the phase error upon reception of the MR signal is at least approximately the same for all sequences.
