US Patent 11762048 Echo-specific k-space sampling with multi-echo sequences

In a method, an imaging sequence is irradiated into an examination region in which an examination object is located. The imaging sequence includes an acquisition section. The acquisition section includes acquiring a plurality of echo signals, each of which samples a k-space region of a k-space. The plurality of echo signals comprises a plurality of first echo signals and a plurality of second echo signals. The plurality of first echo signals and the plurality of second echo signals are generated from different magnetization configurations. The k-space regions sampled by the plurality of first echo signals sample the k-space in a different order to the k-space regions sampled by the plurality of second echo signals.
