In a method and apparatus for acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) data from multiple slices of a subject, a spin echo sequence is executed wherein a radio frequency (RF) excitation pulse, a refocusing pulse, and a further RF pulse are radiated, together with the application of a number of gradients, in order to acquire MR data from an intersection volume of a selected slice with a further slice. The MR data are entered into at least one k-space line in a memory organized as k-space.
