ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes a magnetic resonance imaging method wherein spatially resolved frequency sensitive image data are collected by means of free precession sequences employing very small radio frequency (RF) excitation pulses per unit time which result in highly frequency selective steady-state signals dominated by linear properties of the system, for which the superposition principle holds. By appropriate linear combination of steady state signals of N different frequencies, N resonance lines can be acquired simultaneously. This method allows spectroscopic recordings with very low RF power deposition which renders the method suitable for applications at high static magnetic field strengths.
