Abstract

For purposes of producing a transparency image in a transparency direction, a magnetic resonance device includes a basic field magnetic system for generating a basic magnetic field that exhibits a high homogeneity and a low flux density in at least one imaging volume, and an arrangement for executing a refocused gradient echo sequence, wherein two gradient fields, respectively oriented perpendicularly to the transparency direction, can be switched without slice selection, or for executing a refocused gradient echo sequence with a large slice thickness in the transparency direction.
