Abstract

Acquisition of magnetic resonance (MR) data in a predetermined three-dimensional volume segment of an examination subject with an MR apparatus proceeds by the volume segment being excited with an RF excitation pulse, and repeated, temporally sequential implementation of the following in order to respectively read out an echo train: Every k-space line corresponds to a line of k-space that corresponds to the volume segment. At least one k-space line is read out repeatedly in a middle segment of k-space.
