Abstract
A variant of the broadline, solid state, gradient echo imaging techniq ue which uses repetitive small flip angle pulses to overcome bandwidth limitations and which is analogous to FLASH liquid state magnetic res onance imaging is described. The improvements in image quality which c an be obtained are demonstrated by one-dimensional profiles of a rubbe r phantom obtained with an echo time of only 80 mus.
