A system includes a storage device storing a set of instructions and a processor in communication with the storage device. When executing the instructions, the processor is configured to cause the system to obtain one or more scanning parameters. The processor is also configured to cause the system to determine a first flip angle of a first fat suppression RF pulse and a second flip angle of a second fat suppression RF pulse. The processor is further configured to cause the system to scan a subject by applying an RF pulse sequence including the first fat suppression RF pulse, the second fat suppression RF pulse, and an excitation RF pulse. The processor is also configured to cause the system to receive magnetic resonance signals based on the scanning of the subject and reconstructing an image of the subject based on the MR signals.
