Abstract

In a method and a magnetic resonance system for fat saturation when acquiring magnetic resonance data in a predetermined volume segment of an examination object, a SPAIR pulse is emitted and an RF excitation pulse is emitted following a predetermined time period after the SPAIR pulse, and magnetic resonance data are thereafter acquired. The time period of at least one slice is set so as to be different from the time period for the remaining slices.
