Abstract
A method and system for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to acquire separate data contributions from first and second spectral components by causing a 90 degree phase difference between the data of said components in a first of at least two echoes and using the two echoes to determine the approximate .DELTA..phi. delay due to inhomogeneity, determining linear phase delay .beta. and using .DELTA..phi. and .beta. in the calculation of the separated data contributions of each of the spectral components.
