Claim:
1. A method to acquire magnetic resonance (MR) data, comprising: operating an MR data acquisition unit to repeatedly execute a sequence in a plurality of repetitions, said sequence interacting with nuclear spins in a volume segment of an examination subject situated in the MR data acquisition unit; operating said MR data acquisition unit, in each repetition of said sequence, to radiate a first resonant radio frequency (RF) pulse, radiate a second resonant RF pulse, apply a dephasing first gradient after said first resonant RF pulse and before said second resonant RF pulse, radiate a third resonant RF pulse after the second resonant RF pulse, apply a second gradient after the third resonant RF pulse that refocuses a stimulated echo of a magnetization component prepared by the dephasing first gradient, reading out said MR data, and radiating a fourth resonant RF pulse after reading out said MR data that reduces longitudinal magnetization of said nuclear spins; and in a processor, compiling the MR data from the respective repetitions in a data file, and making the data file available at an output of the processor in electronic form.
