Abstract
In a method and magnetic resonance system for registering magnetic resonance signals of a subject and reconstructing an image on the basis of the registered magnetic resonance signals, an operator provides a control device of the magnetic resonance system with a reconstruction region in a phase-coding direction within which the image should be reconstructed on the basis of the magnetic resonance signals to be registered. The control device effects the registration of the magnetic resonance signals in the phase-coding direction beyond the reconstruction region as well in two independently selectable supplemental regions that are disposed at both sides of the reconstruction region in the phase-coding direction and which immediately adjoin said reconstruction region.
