Abstract
NMR imaging is effected by application of two normal diagonal planes to develop line volumes at major intersections which are converted into a slice image. Rapid line scan imaging is achieved by successive diagonal excitation of previously unexcited regions. Spoiler magnetic gradient fields and applied periodically to dephase and in turn eliminate minor or spurious echoes from other intersections of the two normal diagonal planes.
