Abstract
A method for providing an image of a subject is provided. The plurality of Cartesian points is divided into a first group and a second group, wherein all of the Cartesian points in the first group have a kr that is less than or equal to kr of all of the Cartesian points in the second group. The second group is divided into N subgroups. An inversion recovery radio frequency is applied to the subject. K-space data for the first group of Cartesian points for M different time periods is acquired, wherein k-space data is acquired for only one sub-group sequentially and cyclically for the M different time periods. For each time period i of the M different time periods, acquired k-space data for the first group of Cartesian points at time period i and k-space data from N consecutive subgroups of Cartesian points.
