## Abstract The tradeoff between gradient performance factors, size of the imaging region, and physiological factors such as nerve stimulation typically leads to compromises in gradient design and ultimately suboptimal imaging performance. Local gradient systems can add some performance flexibility

A modified spiral imaging technique is presented, in which the allowing easier implementation on scanner hardware (8). conventional sinusoidal gradient waveforms are replaced by trape-The current gradient waveform provides the desired reduczoidal ones.

It has long been realized that local temperature elevation using focused ultrasound (FUS) can have medical benefits, for example, in cancer therapy (1, 2). However, problems with the evaluation of power dosage and with focusing the ultrasound power at the target location have prevented widespread us
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop and implement a new approach for correcting the intensity inhomogeneity in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. ## Materials and Methods The algorithm is based on the assumption that intensity inhomogeneity in MR data is multiplicative and smoothly varying. Us
## Abstract Field inhomogeneity and susceptibility variations, coupled with a long readout, can result in image blurring in spiral imaging. Many correction methods based on a priori offβresonance information, such as an acquired field map, have been proposed in the literature. Automatic offβresonan
Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to image particle displacements arising from a 0.515-MHZ focused ultrasound (US) field. The technique used a phase-locked, self-resonant gradient matched to the US frequency in conjunction with a spin-echo sequence to generate phase images of U
