Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when read and executed by a computer of a magnetic resonance imaging system, cause the magnetic resonance imaging system to:
select a plurality of spatially non-selective initial RF-pulses, each having a predefined pulse shape and a predefined frequency;
determine a combined RF-pulse from the plurality of spatially non-selective initial RF- pulses by determining a time-offset comprising a relative application time-shift and a phase-shift between the plurality of spatially non-selective initial RF-pulses,
wherein the time-offset is determined in accordance with the predefined pulse shape and the predefined frequency of the plurality of spatially non-selective initial RF-pulses such that the plurality of spatially non-selective initial RF-pulses overlap; and
include the combined RF pulse in a pulse sequence applied by the magnetic resonance imaging system.
