Abstract

In a method and apparatus for generating magnetic resonance spectroscopy data from a VOI, in particular in the liver, image data are acquired from an examination area, which contains an organ affected by breathing, and the image data are evaluated until the position of the organ lies within a specific region. One or more of the eight acquisition cycles of an ISIS sequence are executed in order to acquire magnetic resonance spectroscopy data from the VOI, with repetitions until all eight acquisition cycles of the ISIS sequence have been executed. The magnetic resonance spectroscopy data acquired with the ISIS sequence are reconstructed to form a spectrum. The data acquisition has an ultra-short echo time.
