During the last decade, several numerical methods for RF pulse design have been developed. Recently, the magnitude least squares (MLS) and the multi-shift conjugate gradient least squares (msCGLS) algorithms have been proposed to relax the phase constraint in the resulting magnetization and to efficiently design RF pulses with minimum power. In this study, we present a multi-shift MLS (msMLS) algorithm which presents both advantages of the MLS and the multi-shift approach
