    摘要: In a magnetic resonance imaging method magnetic resonance signal samples are received for a predetermined field of view by a receiving antenna having a spatial sensitivity profile. The sampling in the k space corresponds to the predetermined field of view in the geometrical space. Folded-over images having folded-over pixel values are reconstructed from the sampled magnetic resonance signals. Pixel contributions for spatial positions within the predetermined field of view are calculated from the folded-over pixel values and the spatial sensitivity profile of the receiver antenna. The magnetic resonance image is formed from the pixel contributions for spatial positions within the predetermined field of view. Thus, aliasing or fold-over artefacts caused by a field of view that is too small are avoided.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging system is provided with a system of emission antennas,: for example, emission coils, for generating RF excitation pulses. The RF excitation pulses generate magnetic resonance signals from an object to be examined. The system of emission antennas has a spatially inhomogeneous emission profile. The inhomogeneous emission profile is used for the partial spatial encoding of the magnetic resonance signals in addition to the encoding on the basis of magnetic gradient fields. The magnetic resonance image is reconstructed on the basis of the inhomogeneous emission profile
