in a method and apparatus for mrt imaging , data sets acquired from magnetic resonance signals of at least two limited spatial regions of a subject to be examined , ( the spatial regions being displaced relative to one another along one spatial direction and overlapping in the respective edge region . phase coding occurs in an inhomogeneous non - edge region , likewise in this spatial direction . for at least one of these spatial regions , a modulation function is determined that is limited to this entire spatial region and modulates the subject information . foldovers in the overlap regions of the different spatial regions are calculated on the basis of the modulation function and the mrt images of the non - edge regions of the respective spatial regions are combined without foldovers in the spatial direction under consideration of the calculated foldings .
