RAPID—A new method for fast imaging using a single slice of 2-magnetization

Abstract
A single slice of z‐magnetization is used to generate high‐speed images. The slice selection step is achieved using two sin–sinc pulses. This procedure eliminates the need for continual slice gradient reversal, a requirement for the FLASH technique. The RAPID imaging method has less inherent T1 and/or T2 dependence than current fast imaging methods and is more sensitive. © 1987 Academic Press, Inc.
