Abstract:
    A diffusion-weighted data record is captured, in which magnetic diffusion gradients are switched. A diffusion-weighted image is calculated for an object under examination with the help of the diffusion-weighted data record. De-phasing gradients are switched so as to reduce artifacts on the basis of additional signal echoes in the diffusion-weighted image. An independent claim is also included for a magnetic resonance facility for generating a diffusion-weighted image with the help of a magnetic nuclear resonance.
