Abstract
A slice selection arrangement for MRI systems uses a psuedo-spin echo procedure by applying a 90 degree RF pulse in the presence of gradient pulse, applied in the direction of the encoding pulses; applying the 180 degree RF pulse in the presence of a gradient in another orthogonal direction and reading out the echo in the presence of the third orthogonal gradient pulse. Aliasing artifacts are avoided even though the section imaged is smaller than the object size, allowing zooming and/or a reduced number of encoding cycles for single slice imaging.
