Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging system, comprising:
selecting a plurality of spatially non-selective initial radio frequency (RF)-pulses, each having a predefined pulse shape and a predefined frequency;
determining 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
including the combined RF pulse in a pulse sequence applied in the magnetic resonance imaging system.
