Abstract
In a method and apparatus for acquiring magnetic resonance image data, improved preparation of nuclear spins is achieved by radiating at least one inversion pulse, which acts site-selectively on at least one inversion pulse range, with the at least one inversion pulse range being situated at least partially outside the area under examination, radiation of at least one excitation pulse, read-out of magnetic resonance signals from the area under examination, and reconstruction of magnetic resonance image data from the read-out magnetic resonance signals, the magnetic resonance image data depicting the area under examination.
