Patent ID: 8917918

Claim:
A method to generate a slice exposure of an examination subject by a magnetic resonance imaging, comprising: operating a magnetic resonance data acquisition unit to acquire magnetic resonance measurement data for a stack of measurement slices through an examination subject with a series of slice measurement sequences configured to allow separation of a first material in the examination subject from a second material in the examination subject, said second material having a defined chemical shift with respect to the first material, with a position of a measurement slice containing magnetic resonance measurement data for said first material being spatially shifted relative to a position of a measurement slice containing magnetic resonance measurement data for the second material; providing said magnetic resonance measurement data acquired in said series of slice measurement sequences to a processor and, in said processor, forming a combination of slice exposures in which the first and second materials are shown by combining magnetic resonance measurement data of said first material from at least a first of said slice measurement sequences with magnetic resonance measurement data of said second material from at least a second of said slice measurement sequences, with image data respectively for said first and second materials in said combination slice exposures being spatially located with a positioning relative to each other that is within a predetermined range of tolerance; and in said processor, generating a data file that includes said combination slice exposures, and making said data file available at an output of said processor in electronic form.
