✦ Synopsis

In conventional ECG gated multislice imaging of the heart, slice position and phase in the heart cycle are not independent parameters. This drawback is removed by simultaneous imaging of multiple slices. This paper describes a technique which is based on simultaneous excitation of several slices by multifrequency selective rf pulses. In comparison to conventional cardiac multislice imaging an improved quality of heart images is obtained, because more acquisitions are attributed to the MR signal of the slices. The gain in signal-to-noise ratio per measurement time increases with the square root of the number of slices investigated simultaneously. This is demonstrated using phantom experiments and cardiac images.

The simultaneous multislice technique is a method of imaging multiple parallel slices with the number of echoes normally used to image a single slice. Images of 16 slices have been obtained from a single 128-echo acquisition. The distance between the slices can be decreased to approximately 15% of t

## Abstract One of the difficulties encountered in ^19^F NMR imaging of fluorinated blood substitutes is that these compounds often exhibit complex multipeak spectra. These peaks result in chemical‐shift artifacts along the readout direction and blurred images. In addition, each peak excites a diff

## Abstract A method for simultaneous multislice imaging is presented that uses a multislice RF pulse that imparts a different linear phase profile to each slice. During readout, slices are unaliased by using extra slice‐select gradient lobes, which rephase and dephase individual slices one at a ti
