ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance (MR) method utilizes a plurality of inductively coupled receiving coil systems quasisimultaneously to measure a nuclear magnetization distribution in an examination zone. The method involves excitation of the nuclear magnetization in an examination zone, exposed to a uniform, steady magnetic field, by means of at least one RF pulse, multiple rephasing of the exited nuclear magnetization in order to generate a plurality of MR echo signals whose number at least equals the number m of receiving coil systems, and switching over the receiving coil systems in such a manner that, subsequent to said excitation, each receiving coil system receives at least one MR echo signal while at the same time alii respective other coil systems are inactive.
