Despite potential for more flexible and efficient encoding that better complements receiver geometry, the past decade of work with nonlinear gradients (NLGs) has shown relatively modest improvements on accelerated image quality. In this work we present the first experimental evidence that the previously introduced ROtary Nonlinear Spatial ACquisition (FRONSAC) can notably improve accelerated image quality, both in vitro and in humans. Furthermore, this work introduces and demonstrates a number of robust and flexible attributes of this method, which are crucial to reducing scan times in a clinical setting.
