Claim 13:
14. A magnetic resonance imaging system, comprising:
a magnetic resonance imaging scanner; and
processing circuitry configured to control the magnetic resonance imaging scanner to cause the magnetic resonance imaging scanner to:
apply an excitation radio frequency (RF) pulse to excite spins of a first material of an object and spins of a second material of the object;
acquire a first spin echo signal when the excited spins of the first material of the object and the excited spins of the second material of the object include a first phase difference, which is represented as Δ;
acquire a second spin echo signal; and
generate a first image for the first material of the object and/or a second image for the second material of the object based upon the first spin echo signal and the second spin echo signal,

wherein an absolute value of Δ lies within the interval ]0,π[, and
wherein the second spin echo signal is acquired when the excited spins of the first material of the object and the excited spins of the second material of the object include a second phase difference, which is represented as −Δ.
