Abstract:
A method for generating a magnetic resonance tomographic image, comprising the steps of:generating an imaging pulse sequence, having a repetition time TR, having a plurality of excitation pulses of Â±&agr;, including a last excitation pulse, which excite nuclear spins in an examination subject and which cause a magnetization vector of said nuclear spins to oscillate between +&agr;/2 and âˆ’&agr;/2, to obtain image data for a first image of said examination subject; and to prepare for an acquisition of a subsequent data set for a second image of said examination subject, generating a decay radio-frequency pulse having a flip angle of approximately &agr;/2 and a phase angle which is inverted relative to a phase angle of said last excitation pulse, at an interval of TR/2 following said last excitation pulse.
