Provided is a method for simultaneously acquiring magnetic resonance
slices/slabs of a subject. The method comprises steps as follows. First,
apply one or more than one RF pulse, which carries at least two frequency
components, and a slice/slab selection magnetic field gradient so that at
least two slices/slabs of the subject respectively corresponding to the
at least two frequency components are excited simultaneously. Second,
apply a spatial encoding magnetic field gradient. Third, apply a
slice/slab separation magnetic field gradient so as to separate the at
least two slices/slabs. The method according to the present invention can
be used to acquire data for simultaneously reconstructing multiple
slices/slabs. The method is compatible with existing MRI systems.
