A magnetic resonance imaging method involves acquisition of sets of magnetic resonance signals from several scan-volumes of an object. According to the invention different spatial approaches are taken in the scanning of the respective scan-volumes. In particular_respective scan-volumes include different numbers of scan-slices or scan slices of respective scan-volumes have different slice-thickness or scan-slices of respective scan-volumes have different fields-of-view or scan-slices of respective scan-volumes have different numbers of scanned points in k-space.
