Abstract
A magnetic resonance data acquisition method includes designating a plurality of parameters that are representative of conditions for acquiring data from a magnetic resonance apparatus, at least one of the parameters being variable; designating at least one objective function measuring the quality of the acquired magnetic resonance data; optimizing the at least one objective function using an optimization algorithm to find at least one set of optimum values for the parameters characterizing data acquisition; configuring the magnetic resonance apparatus with the parameters determined above, configuring by one set of the optimum values of the parameters, and instructing a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus to apply the field to the target of the data acquisition to acquire the data.
