โœฆ Synopsis

Echo-planar imaging using a magnetic field strength of 0.5 T has resulted in an improvement in image quality compared with recent images published at 0.1 T. The sensitivity ofthe technique to main magnetic field inhomogeneity and transient eddy currents has necessitated innovations in gradient and radiofrequency coil design. These improvements are described, and new variations in the echo-planar pulse sequence which provide better contrast and allow separate imaging of water and fat distributions are presented.

## Abstract Echoโ€planar imaging is used in combination with a spin preparation phase to produce a T1โ€weighted image. The small additional time penalty in this procedure does not detract significantly from the ultrahighโ€speed imaging capability of EPI, allowing a rapid realโ€time optimization of tiss

## Abstract Using echoโ€planar imaging, we developed an automated imageโ€based procedure to shim the static (B~0~) field. Our method uses the rapid acquisition capability of echoโ€planar Imaging to collect the required frequency data rapidly, rendering the shim data acquisition time negligible in comp
