Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Nonlinear spatial encoding fields for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hold great promise to improve on the linear gradient approaches. Unlike the linear techniques, the nonlinear encoding leads to a spatially varying signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This paper demonstrates the possibility to tailor the encoding fields to focus the high SNR areas to a region of interest. To achieve this, a metric is derived to quantify the spatially dependent performance for arbitrary encoding schemes.
