## Abstract Although MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) of the prostate has demonstrated clinical utility for the staging and monitoring of cancer extent, current acquisition methods are often inadequate in several aspects. Conventional 180° pulses can suffer from chemical shift misregistration, and h

✦ Synopsis
A method is described for multislice imaging by means of rf pulses which contain a multifrequency excitation spectrum. These pulses label each slice by an individual signal phase and allow the separation of the signals from all the slices by subsequent add/subtract procedures. The image sensitivity corresponds to the total number of acquisitions. Sequences for the imaging of an arbitrary number of slices with a minimum number of experiments are described.

## Abstract Chemical exchange–dependent saturation transfer and paramagnetic chemical exchange–dependent saturation transfer are agent‐mediated contrast mechanisms that depend on saturating spins at the resonant frequency of the exchangeable protons on the agent, thereby indirectly saturating the b
## It is shown that spatially selective inversion and saturation can be achieved by concatenation of RF pulses with lower flip angles. A concatenation rule which enables global doubling of the flip angle of any given excitation pulse applied to initial z magnetization is proposed. In this fashion,
Spatially selective radiofrequency (rf) excitation has been applied to encode magnetic resonance (MR) images using non-Fourier basis sets such as wavelets. While non-Fourier-encoded MRI has the advantage of flexibility allowing for various adaptive imaging strategies, pulse sequence implementation f
