Abstract

Radio frequency ('RF') gradient based magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) is provided by establishing a gradient in the RF transmit (B1) field using frequency-modulated RF pulses. A difference between the time-bandwidth product of the frequency-modulated RF pulses can be varied to provide impart different phases to magnetic resonance signals, where these different phases provide phase encoding of the acquired data. The time-bandwidth product difference can be created and varied by changing the pulse duration of one frequency-modulated RF pulse relative to the other while keeping the bandwidth of the pulses constant.
