Field-cycling magnetic resonance imaging (FC MRI) allows switching of the magnetic field during an imaging scan1. FC MRI has been very successful in relaxometry studies and there arises the need to offer more theoretical supports to the rich experimental results available in NMR laboratories. These theories are expected to offer new ways of interpreting the results for new discoveries. In view of this, we have developed a methodology based on the time independent Bloch NMR flow equations for calculating the transverse magnetization in terms of the applied RF field. The results obtained in the study is useful for spectroscopic studies and 3D mapping of tissues
