Claim 15:
16. The MRI system of claim 11, wherein the at least a portion of the original encoding gradient waveform comprises a trapezoidal gradient segment that is not concurrent with data sampling, the trapezoidal gradient segment is at one of the ends of the original encoding gradient waveform, and the one or more processors are further configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to increase or decrease the length of the trapezoidal gradient segment, while concurrently decreasing or increasing its amplitude, respectively, to increase or decrease a Maxwell integral of the original encoding gradient waveform and maintain a zero zeroth-moment of the original encoding gradient waveform.
