Artifact suppression in multi-coil MRI

A magnetic resonance imaging system, comprising:

• a plurality of receiving units for receiving magnetic resonance signals from an object;
• an image reconstruction device, said image reconstruction device being adapted to receive magnetic resonance signals of said object from said plurality of receiving units and to perform image reconstruction by combining magnetic resonance signals received by said plurality of receiving units using an image reconstruction algorithm,
• wherein said image reconstruction device is configured to combine magnetic resonance signal contributions from respective receiving units with spatial receiver coil sensitivities in such a way that a combined sensitivity of the plurality of receiving units to a predetermined spatial region of the object is reduced, wherein the image reconstruction device is further configured to account for motion of said predetermined spatial region for the combining of the magnetic resonance signal contributions from respective receiving units.
