Abstract
In a method for acquiring MR diffusion data, in a control computer of an MRI system, multiple individual data sets, respectively corresponding to multiple diffusion models, are defined and combined to form a combined data set. Each of said individual data sets is comprised of multiple diffusion image individual data subsets that are to be acquired on one or more specific shells, respectively, and in one or more gradient directions, respectively. Different specific shells among the multiple shells have different diffusion factors. The control computer then operates the MRI system, namely the data acquisition scanner thereof, in order to acquire MR data corresponding to the defined combined data set.
