Abstract
In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for acquiring MR signals of an examination object, an excitation pulse is radiated while a first gradient switching operation is activated, a refocusing pulse is radiated, a second gradient switching operation is activated with the second gradient switching operation having an opposite polarity to the first gradient switching operation. At least one of the first gradient switching operation and the second gradient switching operation has an amplitude modulation during radiation of the excitation pulse or the refocusing pulse. MR signals are acquired from nuclear spins in a body of the examination object that were excited by the excitation pulse and refocused by the refocusing pulse.
