Single Echo Acquisition (SEA) imaging is performed using a fourth gradient coil to provide opposite coil phase compensation for dual-planar or "sandwich" arrays having an array plane directly above and below a sample, allowing simultaneous imaging of dynamic or single-shot events at the top and bottom boundaries of a sample.
