Abstract

In a method for the generation of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum from a measuring volume, which is exposed to a highly homogeneous stationary magnetic field B.sub.0, a radio frequency (RF)-pulse is irradiated in a first run into the measuring volume in order to excite the concerned nuclear spins; at least one magnetic gradient field G is switched, for example for selecting a certain slice from the measuring volume and after switching off the magnetic gradient field G, a first data set is recorded which contains the observable measuring signals from the measuring volume, subsequently the method is repeated in a second run with a magnetic gradient field -G which has the opposite polarity to the magnetic gradient field G, whereas the remaining experimental parameters of the first run are maintained, wherein after switching off the magnetic gradient field -G a second data set is recorded and added to the first data set. In this manner, side bands in NMR spectra and artifacts in NMR-images, respectively, can be compensated, which are caused by disturbances of the magnetic field B.sub.0 owing to the switching of the gradient field G.
