Abstract
In a method and a magnetic resonance (MR) system for fat saturation when acquiring MR data in a predetermined volume segment of an examination object (O), a flip angle is determined as a function of a predetermined requirement for a fat signal that is acquired by the magnetic resonance system in the volume segment, and an RF preparation pulse is emitted that has the determined flip angle. This is followed by emission of a SPAIR pulse, followed by acquisition of the MR data.
