Abstract
A method and apparatus for single carrier wideband magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data acquisition are provided. The method includes the following steps: exciting a slice or slab with the use of RF pulse and a slice/slab selection gradient; applying a phase encoding gradient along a phase encoding direction and reducing a FOV along the phase encoding direction by a factor of W through k-space subsampling; applying a frequency encoding gradient along a frequency encoding direction and increasing a FOV along the frequency encoding direction by a factor of W; and applying a separation gradient along the phase encoding direction during the frequency encoding duration and k-space data acquisition.
