Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performs a spoiled gradient-recalled (SPGR) MRI scan with an MRI scanner to produce MRI data; and reconstructs an MRI image from the MRI data; wherein performing the SPGR MRI scan comprises playing an interleaved-randomized spoiler (IRS) gradient after every M-th acquisition block, where M≥2, and where an absolute area of the IRS gradient of each IRS is randomized between zero and a maximum gradient area achievable on the MRI scanner.
