✦ Synopsis

A simple modification of FLASH (Fast Low Angle SHot) MR imaging, which results in a variable reduction of the intensity of flowing blood and flow artifacts in transaxial tomograms, is reported. Here a nonselective radiofrequency pulse of variable flip angle is used before the acquisition of each projection in FLASH imaging to saturate flowing blood within the whole volume (Systemic Saturation = SYS-FLASH). o 1987 Academic press, Inc.

MR images based on gradient echoes are sensitive to artifacts caused by inhomogeneities of the static magnetic field. This paper describes the effects of local gradients in rapid FLASH MR images and presents a way of directly imaging affected areas. The idea is to compensate for signal losses due to

Rapid FLASH (fast low angle shot) NMR images are very sensitive to flow phenomena. In particular, a steady reflow of unsaturated spins from outside the imaging plane results in high image intensities which depend on the flip angle, the repetition time, and the flow velocity. Here we describe a techn

## Abstract Radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity is an unavoidable problem in MRI, and it becomes severe at high magnetic fields due to the dependence of __B__~1~ on the sample. It leads to nonuniformities in image intensity and contrast, causing difficulties in quantitative interpretation and i
