  • Patent number: 5929638
    Abstract: In an MR method whereby artefacts can be eliminated in MR images of inclined slices which are situated outside the isocenter, the temporal variation of a phase error is calculated from the imposed (desired) variation of the magnetic gradient fields and the impulse responses of the gradient coil sub-systems generating these fields, and the measured MR signals are corrected accordingly.
