Abstract:
1. A method to determine a phase position of a magnetization caused by radiation of an adiabatic RF pulse into an examination subject, for acquisition of magnetic resonance signals from a slice of the examination subject, comprising the steps of: radiating an RF pulse of a first type into the examination subject and acquiring a first magnetic resonance signal from the examination subject; after radiating said RF pulse of said first type, radiating an adiabatic RF pulse into the examination subject, and acquiring a second magnetic resonance signal from the examination subject; from said first magnetic resonance signal, automatically electronically calculating a phase of a magnetization induced by the RF pulse of the first type, as a first phase, and from said second magnetic resonance signal, automatically electronically calculating a phase of a magnetization induced by the adiabatic RF pulse, as a second phase; and automatically electronically determining the phase position of the second phase in relation to the first phase.
