Abstract
In a method and apparatus for accelerated spiral-coded imaging in magnetic resonance tomography using spiral-shaped k-space sampling, the underlying k-matrix is under-sampled such that an additional spiral is obtained by point mirroring of the measured values at the center of the k-matrix. This additional spiral forms a complete data set of the k-matrix together with the first spiral for imaging the output information.
