Abstract
In a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging with a music-based gradient curve, a magnetic resonance sequence and a piece of music are provided to a controller of a magnetic resonance apparatus. The piece of music is modified in the controller by taking into account at least one acoustic resonance parameter that characterizes at least one acoustic resonance frequency of the magnetic resonance apparatus, so a modified piece of music is generated. A gradient curve of the magnetic resonance sequence is adjusted using the modified piece of music, so an adjusted magnetic resonance sequence is generated. Magnetic resonance image data of the examination object is acquired by operation of the apparatus with of the adjusted magnetic resonance sequence.
