Abstract
In a method for the optimized acquisition of diffusion-weighted measurement data of an object under examination using a magnetic resonance (MR) system, a first set of diffusion-weighted measurement data is captured by excitation, and, in an acquisition phase, acquisition of at least one position-encoded echo signal, where prior to the acquisition phase, diffusion gradients are switched for diffusion encoding of the diffusion-weighted measurement data in a diffusion preparation phase, and at least one further set of diffusion-weighted measurement data is captured by excitation, and, in an acquisition phase, acquisition of at least one further position-encoded echo signal, where prior to the acquisition phase, diffusion gradients are switched for diffusion encoding of the diffusion-weighted measurement data in the associated diffusion preparation phase. The diffusion gradients switched in consecutive diffusion preparation phases may have an inverted polarity.
