Summary:A method for time synchronization of various components of a magnetic resonance system includes generating a series of amplitude-modulated radio-frequency pulses and associated gradient fields to deflect the magnetization of a slice detecting at least two spin signals, determining a phase difference between two of the spin signals, processing the phase difference in order to determine at least one time shift between two of the following variables that are generated by different components of the magnetic resonance system, an envelope of the amplitude-modulated radio-frequency pulses, a radio-frequency portion of the amplitude-modulated radio-frequency pulses, and one or more gradient fields, and synchronizing the associated components of the magnetic resonance system depending on the at least one time shift.
