Abstract

For imaging a volume segment by means of a magnetic resonance system, of the volume segment is transferred into a dynamic steady state relative to the magnetization by means of the magnetic resonance system. The following steps are repeatedly executed until the volume segment has been completely measured. The slice is excited by means of the magnetic resonance system. MR signals of the slice are read out. The slice is offset in an overlapping manner such that an overlap range is created by the slice before the offset and the slice after the offset, the overlap range being a predetermined percentile of both the slice before the offset and the slice after the offset.
