Abstract
A system for multi-slice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) comprises a gradient coil array comprising a plurality of independent coils distributed about an enclosure; and a controller configured to concurrently actuate said plurality of coils so as to generate a spatially-varying magnetic field within said enclosure such that for at least first and second volumetric slices, a magnetic field magnitude associated with at least one location in the first volumetric slice is substantially equal to a magnetic field magnitude associated with a respective location in the second volumetric slice.
