Abstract: First k-space data are received for a MRI examination of a subject in a first field of view (FOV), and second k-space data are received for a second field of view that is adjacent to or overlaps the first field of view. Alternatively, second k-space data, comprising phase and/or slice oversampling k-space data of the first field of view are retrieved from a non-transitory data storage medium. The first k-space data are reconstructed by using at least a portion of the second k-space data as phase and/or slice oversampling to generate a first extended image of a first extended field of view that encompasses the first field of view and extends into the second field of view. The first extended image is cropped to the first field of view to generate an image of the first field of view for the first MRI examination.
