Increasing the temporal resolution has been a major motivation for MRI technical development. Despite considerable progress, the presently achievable temporal resolution of MRI is limited to tens of milliseconds. We report a novel MRI technique, which we call Sub-Millisecond Imaging of cycLic Event (SMILE), that is capable of capturing periodic processes with sub-millisecond resolution. This technique is demonstrated by employing an example of characterization of eddy currents with short time constants.
