Abstract
In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for combined multislice fingerprinting MR imaging, for each repetition of a repetition sequence, radio-frequency excitation pulses are radiated with flip angles of the radio-frequency excitation pulses being different from one another, at least for a few repetitions. The scattering of the local maxima of the sum of the radio-frequency energy of the radio-frequency excitation pulses as a function of the repetition over the repetition sequence is for example not greater than 80%.
