IMPROVED ULTRAFAST BURST IMAGING USING SHIFTING OF EXCITED REGIONS

摘要

An ultrafast BURST imaging method in which burst RF pulses are repeatedly used to excite equally spaced, narrow section strips in an object. The location of the excited section strips of the object is shifted between successive repetitions of the burst RF pulses by at least one strip width. This shifting avoids saturation effects and allows for three-dimensional imaging and averaging a repeated series of scans.
