ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a magnetic resonance imaging system having a first coil and a second coil to achieve an imaging volume includes, in a first mode, achieving the imaging volume by using a sum field from both of the coils, and, in a second mode, achieving the imaging volume by using a difference field from both of the coils.
