Claim One:
1. A magnetic imaging method used to examine substances, whereby through indirect nuclear spin-spin interaction, a precession of at least some nuclear spins having an additional phase angle &Dgr;&phgr;&equals;−&ggr; 1 −&ggr;B z &tgr; relative to an already existent precession is created in an external magnetic field, so that a transverse magnetization fans out perpendicular to the external magnetic field, as a result of which a relaxation of the transverse magnetization having relaxation times T 2 * is generated, characterized in that, after the excitation pulse, at least one high-resolution image is taken, in that subsequently at least one rephasing pulse, which rephases the transversal magnetization, is applied and in that subsequently additional images having a lower resolution are taken, whereby the high-resolution image and the additional lower-resolution images are taken during a signal drop that is determined by a spin-spin relaxation time T 2.
