Abstract
In a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus and a method for operating such an apparatus, a T1 parameter map is generated with fat fraction correction, by using a model in which the fat fraction of acquired MR data is used as a known parameter. The T1 values from the acquired MR data are fat fraction-corrected in such a manner, so as to generate fat fraction-corrected entries for the T1 parameter map according to the model.
