Claim 11:
12. A system for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging system, comprising:
a selector configured to select a plurality of spatially non-selective initial radio frequency (RF)-pulses, each having a predefined pulse shape and a predefined frequency;
a determiner configured to 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
a sequence controller configured to include the combined RF pulse in a pulse sequence applied by a radio-frequency transmitter of the magnetic resonance imaging system.
