K-space synthesis for MR imaging in the presence of gradient field nonlinearity

摘要

In an embodiment, a method for reconstructing a corrected Magnetic Resonance (MR) image from acquired MR data subjected to gradient field non-linearity comprises producing a data set that corresponds to linear gradient fields responsive to the acquired MR data and reconstructing the data set into the corrected MR image. Thus, correction for distortion is a k-space based correction method.
