Abstract
A method and system for imaging using an inhomogeneous static magnetic field is disclosed herein. The imaging includes providing the inhomogeneous static magnetic field to an object of interest located within an imaging volume. The imaging further includes providing a pulse sequence including a readout gradient pulse and a slice selection gradient pulse, both gradient pulses comprising a part of the inhomogeneous static magnetic field. The pulse sequence is configured to acquire a plurality of lines of k-space data per excitation.
