Abstract

In a method and imaging apparatus for acquiring multi-contrast magnetic resonance (MR) data, a data acquisition scanner is operated in a simultaneous multislice data acquisition sequence to radiate at least one single-band binomial radio-frequency (RF) pulse, that excites fat protons in at least some slices of an examination subject from which MR raw data are to be acquired simultaneously, and leaving water in a longitudinal plane for those at least some slices, and leaving all spin species in a longitudinal plane in others of the slices that are to be acquired simultaneously. A spoiler gradient is subsequently activated that dephases the fat protons that were excited. The scanner is then operated to execute an MR data acquisition sequence with excitation by radiation of multi-band RF pulses. MR raw data resulting from excitation of the fat protons, and MR raw data acquired with said multi-band RF excitation, are compiled in respective data files.
