Abstract
In a method and system for phase-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging, a respective, complex image data set provided to a processor for each of at least two different echo times, the complex image data sets for the different echo times having been reconstructed from magnetic resonance data that acquired for the different echo times using an echo imaging sequence, at least one complex division image data set is determined in the processor by complex division of the complex image data sets for the two different echo times. The two different echo times define an echo time difference, so the resulting complex division image data set has phase components that are dependent on the echo time difference.
