  • Method and magnetic resonance apparatus for different degrees of excitation of two different nuclear spin types
    Patent number: 10641856
    Abstract: In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for different degrees of excitation of two different nuclear spin types with Larmor frequencies that are shifted relative to one another during recording of MR data by execution of an MR sequence, an excitation pulse sequence with at least two consecutive excitation pulses with defined time intervals for the exclusive excitation of the first spin type, and an additional pulse sequence with at least one additional pulse that acts at least on the second spin type, are used. A total pulse sequence formed by superimposition of the two pulse sequences is emitted within an excitation period of the MR sequence.
