Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance imaging is provided that includes using a magnetic resonance imaging system to excite a field of view (FOV) for a target being imaged, using an excitation plan to limit the excited FOV to a relatively narrow band of magnetization, exciting multiple bands of magnetization simultaneously, applying phase encoding along a shortest FOV dimension, acquiring a signal from said simultaneously excited bands of magnetization, and reconstructing and outputting a target image from the acquired signal.
