Imaging method
First Claim
1. An imaging method in which high-frequency pulses are emitted and at least one magnetic gradient field is applied in order to select slice or volume areas in which nuclear magnetic resonances are excited and ascertained as measuring signals whereby, through the magnetic gradient field, several slice or volume areas are consecutively selected and the appertaining measuring signals are detected, and whereby, following the detection of the measuring signals for various slice or volume areas, slice or volume images are formed of the individual slice or volume areas, characterized in that a high-resolution reference image (REF<
- hi-res>
) is made, in that additional images having a lower resolution (KEY<
low-res>
) are made and in that the resolution of the additional images is improved by being linked to the reference image (REF<
hi-res>
).

Abstract
The invention relates to an imaging method. Layer or volume areas are selected by radiating high-frequency pulses and applying at least one magnetic potential field. Nuclear magnetic resonances are excited and are detected as measuring signals in said areas. According to the invention, the method is carried out in such a way that different layer or volume areas are successively selected and the corresponding measuring signals are detected by means of the magnetic potential field and that layer or volume images of the individual layer or volume areas are produced after the measuring signals for the different layer or volume areas have been detected.
