Abstract
A magnetic resonance measurement apparatus that is subject to relative motion between the apparatus and a specimen along a path includes a magnet, antennae and a circuit. The magnet polarizes the specimen, and the antennae are spatially distributed along the path. The circuit uses the antennae to perform magnetic resonance measurements and use the spatial distribution of the antennae to establish different polarization times for the magnetic resonance measurements.
