Abstract:
A magnetic resonance (MR) method comprising:generating in nuclei enhanced nuclear magnetization in in nuclei an examination zone with an electron spin resonance (ESR) RF magnetic field under the influence of a first steady magnetic field generated by a first magnet disposed in a fixed position relative said examination zone, applying a second steady magnetic field to the nuclei previously influenced by the first magnetic field, and carrying out at least one MR experiment after the first steady magnetic field has ceased to act on the nuclei but before the nuclear magnetization influenced by this magnetic field has decayed, the MR experiment including the excitation of the nuclear magnetization by an MR RF magnetic field under the influence of the second steady magnetic field, wherein the directions of the first and the second steady magnetic field enclose an angle other than 0Â° relative to one another, and that the two steady magnetic fields overlap in time.
