✦ Synopsis

Attempts at saturation by nonselective rf pulses, followed by gradient spoiler pulses, are sometimes used as the basis of a method of measuring T I in magnetic resonance imaging, because a method of this type is perceived as being less affected by slice shape artifact than partial saturation methods. This note suggests that, unless care is taken, this assumption can be quite erroneous.

A fundamental problem in Fourier transform NMR spectroscopy is the calculation of observed resonance amplitudes for a repetitively pulsed sample, as first analyzed by Ernst and Anderson in 1966. Applications include determination of spin-lattice relaxation times (T 1 's) by progressive saturation an
