In a method and a magnetic resonance system for acquisition of spectroscopy data in a predetermined volume segment of an examination subject, spectroscopy data in the volume segment are acquired in multiple measurement steps, and spatially resolved MR data of the examination subject also are acquired in multiple measurement steps. Each of the measurement steps to acquire the spectroscopy data or to acquire the MR data respectively includes an excitation step and a readout step associated with that excitation step. At least one of the measurement steps to acquire the MR data occurs between one of the measurement steps to acquire the spectroscopy data and another of the measurement steps to acquire the spectroscopy data.
