Abstract
A system and method are provided for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The method includes performing a gradient echo pulse sequence that includes a phase increment of an RF pulse of the gradient echo pulse sequence selected to encode diffusion information into a phase of MR signals. The method also includes controlling the plurality of gradient coils and the RF system to acquire the MR signals as MR data, processing the MR data to determine MR signals corresponding to diffusion in the subject when acquiring the MR signals, and generating at least one of an image or a map of the subject indicating the diffusion in the subject from the MR data.
