Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging scanner () includes a main magnet (), magnetic field gradient coils (), and one or more radio frequency coils (). A sequence generator () generates an anti-ghosting imaging sequence by dividing k-space into a plurality of profile sub-sets. The sequence generator () includes a profile sub-sets ordering processor () that orders profiles within each profile sub-set such that the order of profiles within each sub-set is generally different from the orders of the other profile sub-sets, and a profile sub-sets acquisition ordering processor () that orders the profile sub-sets in accordance with a selected long-term profiles ordering. The magnetic resonance imaging scanner () executes the anti-ghosting imaging sequence to generate imaging data. A reconstruction processor () reconstructs the generated imaging data into a reconstructed image substantially free of ghosting.
