Abstract

See full text

In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for establishing imaging sequence parameter values with a reduced eddy current formation for flow-encoded magnetic resonance imaging, a number of different flow-encoded candidate raw datasets are acquired by executing a flow-encoded gradient measurement sequence with different imaging sequence parameter values from a test or calibration region of an examination object. Flow-encoded candidate image datasets are reconstructed from the different flow-encoded candidate raw datasets. A flow-encoded candidate image dataset is selected as a function of a background phase contrast established in a phase-contrast image assigned to the respective flow-encoded candidate image dataset. The imaging sequence parameter values assigned to the flow-encoded candidate image dataset are selected as parameter values for an imaging sequence for subsequent diagnostic flow-encoded magnetic resonance imaging.
