ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for generating a fat-reduced, spatially resolved magnetic resonance spectrum of an examination subject, first measurement data are acquired to generate a spatially resolved spectroscopy measurement, second spatially resolved measurement data are generated that essentially have only fat signal contributions, and the second measurement data are subtracted from the first measurement data to generate the fat-reduced, spatially resolved magnetic resonance spectrum.
