Claim 0:
1. A method for improving the contrast of magnetization-transfer-prepared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) comprising:
selecting an acquisition scheme comprising a plurality of inversion-recovery (IR)-imaging modules in an interleaved arrangement, wherein each IR-imaging module comprises an IR-preparation module and a slice acquisition module;
selecting a number of magnetization-transfer (MT)-preparation modules;
generating a pulse sequence by arranging at least one MT-preparation module of the number of MT-preparation modules between two successive IR-preparation modules of the interleaved IR-imaging modules or in front of the first IR-preparation module of a group of interleaved IR-imaging modules; and
applying or saving the pulse sequence for an MRI examination.
