Abstract
The invention relates to a method for imaging diffusion parameters of a body by means of magnetic resonance. The method involves an adjustment pulse sequence and an imaging pulse sequence. The adjustment pulse sequence measures preparation MR signals. The imaging pulse sequence measures position-dependent MR signals. The imaging pulse sequence is adjusted on the basis of information from the preparation MR signals measured during the adjustment pulse sequence.
