Assignee: PROMAXO, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 11:
12. A magnetic resonance imaging system, comprising:
a radio frequency receive system comprising a radio frequency receive coil positionable adjacent to a target subject;
a permanent magnet configured to provide an inhomogeneous permanent gradient field;
a radio frequency transmit system;
a single-sided gradient coil set; and
a control circuit communicably coupled to the radio frequency receive system, the radio frequency transmit system, and the single-sided gradient coil set, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
apply, by the radio frequency transmit system, a sequence of chirped pulses;
apply a multi-slice excitation pulse along the inhomogeneous permanent gradient field;
apply, by the single-sided gradient coil set, a plurality of gradient pulses orthogonal to the inhomogeneous permanent gradient field;
acquire, by the radio frequency receive system, a signal of the target subject; and
form a magnetic resonance image of the target subject.
