Methods and pulse sequences for facilitating nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in grossly inhomogeneous fields. Methods and pulse sequences according to the invention may be used to accurately measure variables such as transverse relaxation time, longitudinal relaxation time, and diffusion, without the need for data at long recovery time, thereby allowing for faster measurements. In addition, methods and pulse sequences according to embodiment of the invention may allow simultaneous encoding of information in both the amplitude and the shape of echoes, so as to allow a single-shot measurement of multiple variables, e.g., both transverse relaxation time (from the decay of echo amplitudes) and longitudinal relaxation time (from the echo shape). CPMG detection may be used to overcome the often limited signal-to-noise ratio in grossly inhomogeneous fields.

A method to separate two chemically-shifted components of water (w) and fat (f) signals by: (i) estimating the field inhomogeneity β through a treatment of the residuals of the Moore-Penrose solution of the following equations: cos(αnβ)*w+cos [αn(1+β)]*f=real (In) and sin(αnβ)*w+sin [αn(1+β)]*f=imaginary (In), and (ii) using the estimated β to determine the resulting solution for w and f from the original input signals In.

Methods for providing practical magnetic resonance imaging systems that utilize non-homogeneous background fields, B0, as well as, possibly non-linear, gradient fields G1, G2 to make non-invasive measurements to determine, among other things, a spin density function. Two types of non-homogeneous background fields are considered: background fields B0 in which the function |B0| does not have a critical point within the field of view, and background fields B0 such that the function |B0| has a single critical point within the field of view. In the first case, an MR-imaging device may be constructed by using the permanent gradient in the background field, B0, as a slice select gradient, so long as particular criteria are met. In the second case, magnets may be constructed so that |B0| has an isolated non-zero local minimum. Using selective excitation, one can excite only the spins lying in a small neighborhood of this local minimum.

The invention provides an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) non-uniform field estimation method based on image gradient fitting. The method comprises the following steps: processing an image in a log-domain and decoupling a real image signal and a non-uniform field signal; obtaining the estimation of a non-uniform field through fitting a gradient in an organization region with more uniform grayscale in the image.
