1. An MR imaging method for forming an image of the nuclear magnetization distribution in an examination zone, which method includes the steps of: a) forming a first MR imaging sequence with a selectable minimum number of phase encoding steps, b) measuring at least two separate MR signal data sets by means of at least two MR receiving coils, c) reconstructing a first MR image by Fourier transformation and combination of the separate MR signal data sets while taking into account the respective spatial sensitivity profiles of the MR receiving coils, characterized in that d) the quality of the reconstructed MR image is evaluated and, in dependence on the evaluation result, either the imaging method is terminated or e) a further MR imaging sequence is formed with a number of further phase encoding steps, f) separate MR additional signals are measured by means of the MR receiving coils and added to the respective MR signal data sets, and g) a further MR image is reconstructed by Fourier transformation and combination of the MR signal data sets modified in the step f) of the method while taking into account the respective spatial sensitivity profiles of the MR receiving coils.
