Abstract

An NMR system acquires a series of spin-echo signals during a scan and these are used to reconstruct an image. The spin-echo signals are partially acquired by locating the data acquisition window asymmetrically with respect to the echo peak. A homodyne reconstruction is employed to fill in the missing data during the image reconstruction.
