Abstract

In MR imaging of a predetermined volume segment of a living examination subject, the examination subject is stimulated with a defined stimulation pattern, MR data of the predetermined volume segment, are acquired, and MR images based on the MR data are generated that depend on the stimulation pattern. The predetermined volume segment is an internal organ or muscle tissue of the examination subject.
