28, ABSTRACT:, "Method of and device for determining a nuclear magnetization distribution in a region of a body." During measurement cycles for generating and sampling FID signals in NMR imaging devices 9 a 180° pulse and subsequently a 90° excitation pulse are added to the pulse sequence. The 180° pulse produces an additional echo signal. During (the maximum of) the echo signal the 90°, pulse is generated. The waiting period occurring before the beginning of a next measurement cycle can thus be substantially reduced without giving rise to a significant signal loss in the echo signals to be generated during said cycle. In addition to a reduction of the measurement time, NMR images with …
