Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and method for operating same

摘要

In a gradient echo sequence for a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, at least two gradient echo signals are acquired between two excitation pulses due to the influence of a bipolar readout gradient. The respective echo times of the gradient echo signals are selected such that signals from atomic nuclei of different chemical bonding add in the one instance but subtract in another instance. Two images with different diagnostic content can be acquired from these two types of gradient echo signals.
