In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for the simultaneous recording of MR signals from an examination subject with two different types of tissue in a number of slices, a first RF binomial pulse sequence for exciting at least one first slice is radiated. In addition, a second RF binomial pulse sequence for exciting at least one second slice is radiated. Furthermore, at least one RF pulse of the second binomial pulse sequence is temporarily radiated between two RF pulses of the first RF binomial pulse sequence.
