Abstract

In a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging, in order to create a T1 map, an pulse sequence is used that includes at least one exposure cycle, wherein the exposure cycle includes an inversion pulse, a saturation pulse quantity of one or more saturation pulses and a readout step quantity of one or more readout steps. Within the exposure cycle, at least one saturation pulse of the saturation pulse quantity follows the inversion pulse and at least one readout step of the readout step quantity follows the at least one saturation pulse.
