In a method for image generation by magnetic resonance, a first MR raw data set is acquired with a first resolution in k-space, at least one further raw data set is acquired with a resolution in k-space that is reduced relative to that of the first raw data set, the acquired raw data sets are transferred into three-dimensional space for generation of image data the various image data are averaged for generation of an averaged image data set and the averaged image data set is displayed as an MR image.
