Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for acquiring data of an examination object in at least two slices by means of a pulse sequence. Time intervals between excitations of neighboring slices and associated minimum intervals are determined. From these, time intervals to be adapted between excitations of neighboring slices are determined and adapted before a measurement protocol is executed, with the adapted time intervals. Through the determination of a minimum time interval between excitations of neighboring slices and the adaptation of the time intervals between excitations of neighboring slices, a falsification of measurement results can be avoided, measurement time of the chosen measurement protocol is not increased, and the user is not restricted in their choice of the slices to be excited.
