ABSTRACT:
An NMR scanner performs a series of pulse sequences from which NMR data is acquired and used to reconstruct an image. Image contrast is enhanced by magnetization transfer from short-T.sub.2 spin species that are saturated by an off-resonance, substantially rectangular shaped RF saturation pulse applied during each pulse sequence.
