Motivation: To reduce scan time without compromising signal-to-noise ratio through multi-slice imaging within each polarization cycle of a novel inhomogeneous B0 field cycling magnet.
Goal(s): To demonstrate feasibility of multi-slice imaging acquisition using field cycling for slice selection.
Approach: Spin polarization is performed at maximum field strength (0.4T). During the imaging phase, multiple slice modules can be defined during which the field is sequentially modulated to achieve slice selection.
Results: Proof of concept for 3-slice multi-slice imaging with field cycling is presented, demonstrating feasibility.
Impact: Image quality and scan time are prevalent concerns with low-field systems. Multi-slice imaging is a powerful tool to reduce scan time without compromising SNR or necessitating additional hardware.
