Abstract
In a method, magnetic resonance apparatus, and pulse optimization computer for determining a pulse sequence for radial sampling of k-space in magnetic resonance imaging, the amplitudes and the increases with respect to time of readout gradients and phase gradients for individual sections of k-space are determined depending on an orientation of the respective section in k-space and depending on global maximum values of the amplitudes and the increases of the gradients on the physical axes.
