1. In a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system having a defined field of view (FOV), a method for producing an image of a subject over an extended field of view (FOV tot ) which is larger than the FOV, the steps comprising: a) moving the subject through the MRI system such that the extended field of view (FOV tot ) passes through the defined field of view (FOV); b) continuously acquire NMR data from the subject as it is moved through the FOV by repeatedly performing an imaging pulse sequence which acquires NMR data comprising a view of the subject; c) adjusting each view acquired in step b) using subject position information; d) storing each adjusted view in a data matrix; and e) reconstructing an image using the data matrix.
