Abstract
The invention relates to an imaging method. Layer or volume areas are selected by radiating high-frequency pulses and applying at least one magnetic potential field. Nuclear magnetic resonances are excited and are detected as measuring signals in said areas. According to the invention, the method is carried out in such a way that different layer or volume areas are successively selected and the corresponding measuring signals are detected by means of the magnetic potential field and that layer or volume images of the individual layer or volume areas are produced after the measuring signals for the different layer or volume areas have been detected.
