  • Method for exciting transverse magnetization in magnetic resonance
    Patent number: 5448170
    Abstract: A method for exciting transverse magnetization by irradiating a nuclear spin system subjected to a constant magnetic field with a frequency-modulated rf-pulse ("chirp"-pulse) and with a further frequency-modulated rf-pulse (further chirp-pulse) for refocusing the magnetization, is characterized in that the rf-pulse-(P1) and the further rf-pulse (P2) overlap each other in time at least partially. Thus, the duration of the pulses can be reduced.
