Abstract

In a method for optimizing a magnetic resonance sequence of a magnetic resonance apparatus, a magnetic resonance sequence is provided to a computer, the sequence having a number of fixed point time intervals that are to be left unmodified, and a number of modifiable time intervals which may be optimized. The magnetic resonance sequence is automatically analyzed in the computer in order to identify the fixed point time intervals and the modifiable time intervals in the magnetic resonance sequence. At least one gradient pulse, which occurs during at least one modifiable time interval of the number of modifiable time intervals, is optimized by taking the first moment of this at least one gradient pulse into account.
