1. A method for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, the method comprising:
acquiring, for each readout gradient pulse of a plurality of readout gradient pulses during a respective readout period, an MR signal using a receiving antenna; and
generating an MR image as a function of the acquired MR signals, wherein:
a start time of the respective readout period is delayed relative to a start time of the respective readout gradient pulse by a delay duration which is randomly or pseudo-randomly selected from two or more predefined time values for each readout gradient pulse; and/or
to generate the MR image, the acquired MR signals are each processed, the processing including a frequency conversion based around a center frequency selected randomly or pseudo-randomly from two or more predetermined frequency values for each readout gradient pulse.
