Abstract
A method for generating a modified magnetic resonance sequence, a magnetic resonance device, and a computer program product are provided. In accordance with the method, an original magnetic resonance sequence is provided for the acquisition of magnetic resonance signals. The magnetic resonance sequence includes multiple gradient pulses. Further, at least one limit value is provided. At least one modification gradient pulse of the multiple gradient pulses is modified as a function of the at least one limit value, and thus, a modified magnetic resonance sequence is generated.
