MR imaging comprising the steps of: subjecting an object (10) to an imaging sequence of RF pulses and switched magnetic field gradients (GS, GP, GM), which imaging sequence is a steady state sequence comprising a plurality of repeatedly applied acquisition blocks (21), wherein each acquisition block (21) comprises two units (22, 23) in immediate succession, namely: i) a first unit (22) starting with an excitation RF pulse radiated toward the object (10), with the duration of the first unit being an integer multiple of a given time interval T, and ii) a second unit (23) starting with a refocusing RF pulse radiated toward the object (10) and comprising a readout magnetic field gradient (GM) and a phase encoding magnetic field gradient (GP), with the duration of the second unit (23) being an integer multiple of the time interval T, acquiring one or more phase-encoded spin echo signals (31, 32) in a sequence of acquisition blocks (21), and reconstructing one or more MR images from the acquired spin echo signals (31, 32). Moreover, the invention relates to a MR device (1) and to a computer program for a MR device (1).
