Abstract
A 3DFT NMR scan is performed by stepping two phase encoding gradients through a sequence of values to sample all locations in k-space. The gradients are stepped such that k-space is covered by sampling closer to the origin of k-space first. Two methods for ordering the k-space sample points are disclosed.
