  • Fast spectroscopic imaging system
    Patent number: 6037772
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for generating a magnetic resonance image of a biotic structure. The method includes the steps of generating a plurality of datasets by modulating a free induction decay of at least some MR detectable nuclei in the biotic structure with a sinusoidally oscillating magnetic field gradient and using the spectroscopic and spatial information present in the acquired signal to approximate a set of instantaneously acquired gradient echoes. The method further includes the step of synthesizing images based upon the approximated acquired gradient echoes.
