Abstract
In a magnetic resonance method and apparatus for determining a magnetization transfer constant a first MR signal sequence is acquired from an object being examined using a spin echo based imaging sequence, a second MR signal sequence is acquired from the object being examined using a spin echo based imaging sequence having basically identical imaging parameters to the first MR signal sequence, with the exception that the energy level of the RF pulses for exciting the magnetization in the first MR signal sequence and the energy level of the RF pulses for exciting the magnetization in the second MR signal sequence are different. The magnetization transfer constant is determined based on the signal differences between the first and second MR signal sequences.
