ABSTRACT:
A method of excitation for use during an NMR examination includes the subjecting of a body (92) to an orienting magnetic field (B0). The body (92) is adiabatically conditioned with a first series of Rf pulses (IP1–IPn). The body (92) is excited with a second series of RF pulses (E1–Em) in a presence of gradient field pulses. A resonance signal is emitted from the body (92) in response to the second series of RF pulses (E1–Em).
