Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for forming a magnetic resonance image of a human. The method includes the steps of applying a plurality of relatively constant spatially non-selective radio frequency pulses to an imaging volume of the human, applying a plurality of combinations of magnitude of phase-encoding gradients in slice-selective and in-plane directions to the imaging volume of the human, wherein the plurality of combinations is adapted to undersample the imaging volume in k-space, detecting magnetic resonance imaging data from the imaging volume using a plurality of receiver coils and forming the magnetic resonance image of the imaging volume.
