in a magnetic resonance method and system for the generation of diffusion information , diffusion - weighted mr images of an examination subject are generated , each image being generated using an individual diffusion gradient . the diffusion gradients , and therefore the mr images , are sorted such that , after the sorting , a predefined number of diffusion gradients respectively forms a group . each diffusion gradient belongs to at least one of these groups , and the diffusion gradients of the respective same group are all as linearly independent of one another as possible . the mr images whose diffusion gradients form a group are assembled into an mr result image . spatial transformations between the mr result images are determined , and the mr images are modified using these spatial transformations . the diffusion information is formed with the aid of the modified mr images .
