A magnetic resonance system comprises a magnetic resonance scanner () including a main magnet () generating a static magnetic field biasing nuclear spins toward aligning along a direction of the static magnetic field, magnetic field gradient coils (), a radio frequency coil (), and a controller () configured to: (a) drive the radio frequency coil to selectively tip spins predominantly of short T2* out of the direction of the static magnetic field; (b) drive at least one of the magnetic field gradient coils and the radio frequency coil to dephase said spins predominantly of short T2* tipped out of the direction of the static magnetic field; and (c) drive the magnetic field gradient coils and the radio frequency coil to acquire magnetic resonance data that is predominantly T2* weighted due to preceding operations (a) and (b).
