Abstract
In a method and magnetic resonance apparatus for creating an optimizing pulse sequence for selective RF excitation in the magnetic resonance apparatus, the pulse sequence has an excitation event block, which has an RF pulse and a selection gradient. Nuclear spins are excited in a predefined volume section in a predetermined manner by this excitation event block, which is designed to so that the spins inside the volume section have the same phase position after the excitation event block of the pulse sequence. The selection gradient does not have a polarity reversal.
