Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method includes applying a radio-frequency (RF) pulse to a subject including different tissues all including a same type of atomic nuclei to rotate magnetization directions of the atomic nuclei of the different tissues; applying an RF pulse sequence to the subject based on the magnetization directions of the atomic nuclei of the different tissues; and obtaining magnetic resonance signals from the different tissues in response to the RF pulse sequence.
