The present invention relates to a method for side-band suppression in a Magnetic Resonance imaging, MRI, system (), the method comprising providing a first multiband RF pulse for simultaneously exciting at least two slices in a subject () at a first and a second frequency band () and to acquire using the MRI system () signals () from the excited two slices and at least one additional signal () at a third frequency band (), the additional signal () resulting from a sideband excitation of a slice different from the two slices; using the first multiband RF pulse for determining the additional signal (); deriving a pre-compensating term from the first multiband RF pulse and the additional signal (), adding the pre-compensating term to the first multiband RF pulse to obtain a second multiband RF pulse, thereby replacing the first multiband RF pulse by the second multiband RF pulse for suppressing at least part of the additional signal ().
