Abstract
A tissue imaging system () includes a stationary array of magnets () arranged to generate an inhomogeneous main magnetic field (B), a tissue holder () adjacent the array of magnets () and operative to move tissue () placed therein about and/or along a coordinate axis, one or more RF receive coils () adjacent the tissue holder () and the magnets (), and an MRI processor in communication with the magnets (), the RF receive coils () and the tissue holder (). An image of the tissue () is created by using spatial encoding of magnetic resonance signals generated by the magnets () and RF receive coils () for different spatial orientations of the tissue () moved by the tissue holder () with respect to the magnets. Spatial inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field spatially modulate a phase of each of the magnetic resonance signals.
