Abstract: In a method for determination of an acquisition sequence for slice plane data of slice planes of an examination subject, the slice plane data are acquired with measurement sequences that each includes a preparation phase and a measurement phase temporally separated from the preparation phase. For n slice planes and a set of sequence parameters that include at least the parameters TRmin: minimal repetition time between two measurement sequences of the same slice plane and TRmax: maximum repetition time between two measurement sequences of the same slice plane, a periodic acquisition scheme that, temporally expanded, is [TRi, TR]-compatible to the k-th degree and has k streams. The association of the n slice planes with the k streams of the acquisition scheme and the order of the slice planes within the respective streams are determined by mixed-integer linear program.
