Abstract
Multiple inversion recovery flow imaging employs at least four spin inversion pulses following saturation of static nuclei spins to null nuclei in static material having different spin-lattice relaxation times (T.sub.1) with the inversion pulses being spaced in time to substantially reduce the longitudinal magnetization of the T.sub.1 species present. The saturation of static nuclei spins includes applying a sequence of saturation pulses with adjacent pulses being separated by a diphasing gradient to avoid refocusing coherence. The detection of signals includes applying at least one RF read-out pulse near the nulling point.
