Abstract

A method for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging system, including: selecting a plurality of spatially non-selective initial RF-pulses each having a predefined pulse shape and a predefined frequency; determining a combined RF-pulse from the initial RF-pulses by choosing a time-offset comprising a relative application time-shift between the initial RF-pulses, wherein this time-offset is chosen such that the initial RF-pulses overlap; and including the combined RF pulse in a pulse sequence applied in a magnetic resonance imaging system.
