Abstract
Method and apparatus for improving the signal-to-noise ratio in magnetic resonance imaging systems using echo acquisition modes. The bandwidth of the received signals are reduced along with the amplitude of the view gradient and the sampling time. Since the signal-to-noise ratio is proportional to one over the square root of the bandwidth, this results in an increased signal-to-noise ratio. 7
