A computer simulation has been used to calculate the effects of J coupling on the amplitudes of echoes produced by CPMG sequences. The program computes the evolution of the density matrix for different pulse intervals and can predict the signals obtainable from spin systems of any size and complexit

โฆ Synopsis
The artifacts associated with finite sampling in magnetic resonance imaging are shown to be significant when the ratio of half the sampling time, Ts/2, to transverse relaxation time, T2, is on the order of unity or greater. For both symmetric and asymmetric sampling, these artifacts include enhanced high spatial frequency image intensity (bright edges), induced systematic noise, loss of resolution, and changes in phase. Simple filtering of the raw data does not remove the problem in tissues with position-dependent T2 values. An exact deconvolution method is described to remove these problems associated with finite position-dependent T2 values.

The effects of pulsatile flow on spin phases in spin-echo magnetic resonance imaging are considered. General expressions for the spin phases of the first four echoes are derived in terms of the Fourier coefficients of flow. These expressions are valid for any timedependent acceleration and, hence, a
