Abstract
Techniques are described for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging system to facilitate an improvement in Simultaneous Multislice Imaging, especially concerning a compensation of eddy currents. This is achieved by simultaneously measuring at least two slices by the magnetic resonance imaging system while applying a pulse sequence. In the course of the pulse sequence for measuring k-space lines, a set of in-plane encoding signals (that are typically gradients) are applied with a set of Hadamard encoding signals in an interleaved scheme.
