For 3D imaging, frequency-swept excitation can be used to obtain broad bandwidth and sharp slab profiles. The quadratic phase from such RF excitation imparts spatiotemporal encoding and can be leveraged for added encoding. Here we show that, by sliding the quadratic phase across the slice-encoding direction, synergy can be achieved when combining frequency-swept excitation with Fourier encoding, which has inherent optimal noise-properties.
