Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for exciting spins of a first material and spins of a second material. A first spin echo signal is acquired when the excited spins include a first phase difference, which is given by Δ, and a second spin echo signal is acquired when the excited spins of the first material and the excited spins of the second material include a second phase difference, which is given by −Δ. An absolute value of Δ lies within the interval ]0,π[. A first image for the first material and/or a second image for the second material is generated by a computing unit depending on the first spin echo signal and the second spin echo signal.
