## Abstract A new __k__‐space trajectory measurement technique is proposed and demonstrated. This technique measures the __k‐__space trajectory, in seconds, using only a few readout lines, using phase values of acquired MR signals. As a result of the technique's efficiency, k‐space trajectory measu

Abstract
A rapid dynamic imaging sequence has been developed in which only the 32 phase encoding steps that encode low spatial frequencies are collected for each dynamic image. These are substituted into a previously acquired, 128 × 128 raw data set prior to image reconstruction. In this way the dynamic information is retained while the overall appearance is improved in comparison with images obtained by zero filling to 128 × 128, leading to better qualitative evaluation. The limited k‐space sampling means that the technique is most effective for large homogeneous areas of signal change since fine changes in contrast are imperfectly recorded.

## Abstract The spatial frequency (__k__) space concept is extended to describe the imaging of time‐dependent objects. This work builds on the existing __k__‐space description of MRI and is useful for simplifying the analysis of explanations of motion artifacts, algorithms for the correction of mot
## Abstract A novel __T__‐weighted contrast‐preparation scheme is described for use with segmented __k__‐space cardiac sequences. This approach frees the imaging phase from the requirement of a long TE and, hence, a relatively long TR. A [90°~x~‐τ‐90°~ρ~] preparation scheme is used to acquire four

We propose a multi-pinhole g-camera, comprising multi-pinhole collimators and flat-panel detectors (FPDs), in order to facilitate dynamic imaging of low-energy g-ray emitters, such as 99m Tc. The collimator comprises an array of 9 Â 9 pinholes with an opening angle of 601, these pinholes are aligned
