Abstract

A composite RF pulse is created from a sequence of conventional homogeneous RF pulses and conventional gradient RF pulses and the composite pulse generates a gradient magnetic field with a spatially varying amplitude, but a spatially independent phase. In one embodiment of the invention, the pulse sequence consists of four conventional gradient RF pulses interspersed with two conventional homogeneous RF pulses. In another embodiment of the invention, a conventional gradient RF pulse is combined with a conventional homogeneous RF pulse and the pulse pair is repeated in order to generate an effective magnetic field with a spatially varying amplitude, but a spatially independent phase.
