Provided is a method for simultaneously acquiring magnetic resonance slices/slabs of a subject. The method comprises steps as follows. First, apply one or more than one RF pulse, which carries at least two frequency components, and a slice/slab selection magnetic field gradient so that at least two slices/slabs of the subject respectively corresponding to the at least two frequency components are excited simultaneously. Second, apply a spatial encoding magnetic field gradient. Third, apply a slice/slab separation magnetic field gradient so as to separate the at least two slices/slabs. The method according to the present invention can be used to acquire data for simultaneously reconstructing multiple slices/slabs. The method is compatible with existing MRI systems.
