Abstract:
1. A method for operating a magnetic resonance apparatus comprising the steps of: initially setting a computer of a magnetic resonance apparatus for operating said magnetic resonance apparatus in a hybrid CSI sequence wherein predetermined magnetic resonance signal-emitting substances in a volume of interest will be excited to produce magnetic resonance signals for spectroscopic evaluation; after initially setting said hybrid CSI sequence, automatically defining, in said computer, an increased volume that exceeds said volume of interest; and automatically in said computer, modifying the initially set hybrid CSI sequence for causing a saturation volume, directly adjoining said volume of interest, to be saturated before said predetermined magnetic resonance signal-emitting substances are excited in said hybrid CSI sequence for preventing unwanted magnetic resonance signals from said increased volume from interfering with the magnetic resonance signals emitted by said predetermined magnetic resonance signal-emitting substances in said region of interest.
