A method and system are disclosed for NMR echo-train data acquisition and processing for enhanced tracking of the error in the signal due to magnetoacoustic effects, known as ringing, that are not cancelled out or otherwise corrected. In one aspect, the method enables correction of ringing signals in a single pass by way of collecting a composite signal that includes echoes due to pulses at least at two different frequencies. The choice of one or more of the frequencies, the phase of the pulses, and the recovery period enable cancellation of the ringing signal from the echoes, including the echo from an excitation pulse. In another aspect, the method encompasses providing protection against errors due to tool motion by saturating a relatively wide sensitive region with the echo signals collected from within this relatively wide sensitive signal. Preferred embodiments of the invention include one or more of the aforementioned aspects. |
