Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and system of magnetic resonance imaging using a constrained gradient waveform. The constrained gradient waveform is designed to have only predetermined frequencies, for example excluding one or more identified resonant frequencies associated with the MRI system. The application of such a constrained gradient waveform during imaging may aid in reducing noise, vibration and/or heating of the MRI system during imaging.
