Claim 5:
6. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
a first coil (LC) suitable for generating a static magnetic field (B0), called longitudinal field, substantially uniform within a volume of interest and oriented along a direction, called longitudinal direction;
a set of gradient coils (CGx, CGy, CGz) suitable for generating, within said volume of interest, a time-varying magnetic field gradient;
at least one radio-frequency coils (TC) suitable for generating a radio-frequency pulse within said volume of interest; and
a control unit (CU) configured or programmed to drive said gradient coils and said radio-frequency coil or coils, and to acquire and process signals received by said radio-frequency coil or coils, to carry out a method according to claim 1.
