A method for obtaining amplitude and phase dependencies of radio frequency pulses, which are irradiated within the scope of a main magnetic resonance experiment for generating a predetermined n-dimensional spatial distribution (n>=1) of transverse magnetization in an object by means of at least one radio frequency transmitting antenna of a magnetic resonance measuring system in combination with spatially and temporally varying additional magnetic fields which are superimposed on the static and homogeneous base field of the magnetic resonance measuring system and change the transverse magnetization phase in the object in dependence on location and time is characterized in that, prior to performance of the main experiment, a preparational measurement is performed in which the change with time of the transverse magnetization phase in the object under the action of the additional magnetic fields is measured in a position-resolved fashion and the amplitude and phase dependencies of the radio frequency pulses for the main experiment are calculated on the basis of this change with time of the transverse magnetization phase, which is measured in a position-resolved fashion. In this fashion, experimental imperfections in the form of unintentional additional magnetic fields can be measured, taken into consideration and compensated for.
