The present invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks by providing method for producing a plurality of images of a subject with a magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') system. A radio frequency (RF) excitation field is applied by the MRI system to a portion of a subject that includes a plurality of slice locations. First data are simultaneously acquired from each of the plurality of slice locations by the MRI system.
