Spatial encoding with reduced reliance on Bo gradients
has always been an interest for specialized
applications. Some investigators have demonstrated
entirely replacing gradient encoding in one direction
and rotating a receiver coil at very high rates to
create a virtual array for RF spatial encoding. Here we
demonstrate early results from a novel planar imaging
technique for MR imaging that uses no gradients at all,
performing all spatial encoding by a combination of RF
encoding and rotating the object. The specific interest
here is the development of a simple, low-cost imaging
system that is robust to magnetic field homogeneity.
