Abstract
A method for generating a desired temporal profile of the magnetization state in an object under examination (O) during an experiment involving magnetic resonance is characterized in that at least one spatially dependent change in the magnetization state inside the object under examination (O) is predefined and spatially selective radio-frequency pulses, which allow a simultaneous and independent change in the magnetization state at locations with different stipulations, are irradiated in order to implement the predefined spatially dependent change in the magnetization state. The method permits establishment of the same desired temporal profile of the magnetization state for different regions of the object under examination despite different given experimental parameters or deliberate generation of different desired profiles of the magnetization state at different locations.
