Abstract

A multi-planar imaging method employs magnetic resonance to detect image data from multiple planes within a subject. Data from each plane are detected in response to the same readout gradient and are simultaneously detected. The image planes can be arbitrarily oriented with respect to each other and with respect to the readout and phase-encoding image formation magnetic field gradient pulses if desired. Overlap of image data from each of the excited image planes in the acquired image is prevented by employing a thick refocusing slab oriented orthogonal to the readout and phase-encoding directions, or by choosing planes which intersect outside the subject's anatomy.
