Abstract
In a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus and a method for generating a magnetic resonance image of a subject, at least one first pulse sequence and a second pulse sequence are used for scanning k-space, with the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence being different from one another. A transition area, within which the first pulse sequence is converted step-by-step into the second pulse sequence, is defined between the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence. This prevents strip artifacts in the reconstructed image caused by phase jumps and amplitude jumps which would otherwise arise due to the transition between the different pulse sequences.
