A magnetic resonance imaging method for forming an image of an object from
a plurality of signals acquired by an array of multiple receiver
antennae, wherein spins are excited in a part of the object. Slices (22)
are selected with a predetermined Field-of-View for scanning the object
and are rotated uniformly over a predetermined angle. MR signals are
measured along a predetermined trajectory containing a plurality of lines
said slices in k-space by application of a read gradient and other
gradients. Further the slices (24) are shifted in lengthwise direction
obtaining a staggered arrangement such that the beginning and the end of
each of said slices are at least approximately within the area covered by
the slices before rotation.
