ABSTRACT:
An exemplary embodiment of system, computer-accessible medium and method for determining exemplary values for acquisition parameters for a given time (e.g., imaging time) is provided, e.g., with the exemplary values being selectable to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. According to certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, data (e.g., image data) associated with at least one portion of a target can be generated. For example, a first signal from the target resulting from at least one first excitation pulse forwarded toward the target can be acquired using a plurality of acquisition parameters having first values. Further, a second signal from the target resulting from at least one second excitation pulse forwarded toward the target can be acquired using a plurality of acquisition parameters having second values, with the second values being different from the first values. The data (e.g., image data) may be generated based on the first and second signals.
