Abstract
In a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging, in order to enable improved saturation of magnetic resonance signals during an acquisition sequence, the acquisition sequence includes a readout block set with multiple readout blocks, a readout saturation pulse set with multiple readout saturation pulses, and an intermediate saturation pulse set with one or more intermediate saturation pulses, wherein the readout saturation pulse set is disjoint from the intermediate saturation pulse set, at least one readout block of the readout block set includes a readout saturation pulse of the readout saturation pulse set, and at least one intermediate saturation pulse of the intermediate saturation pulse set takes place between two successive readout blocks of the readout block set.
