(RF-FAST / RF spoiled FAST) A gradient echo sequence.
See Spoiled Gradient Echo Sequence.

Multiplication of acquired MR data by a function smoothly tapering off at higher spatial frequencies so as to reduce ringing artifacts near edges in the corresponding image or spectrum due to truncation and Gibbs phenomenon. It is a form of filtering.

The time linearly from 0 to its maximum flat top measured in mT/m or G/cm. 10 mT/m=1G/cm. The height of the flat top influences the FOV. The higher the flat top or maximum gradient amplitude the smaller the FOV and the thinner the available slice thickness.

Magnetic shielding through the use of high permeability material in the walls (plus floor and ceiling) of the magnet room. Room shielding can be complete (e.g., six sides of a box, Faraday cage), or partial if the fringe field is to be reduced only in certain areas (see also Magnetic Shielding).

(RODEO) The software package Spiral RODEO™ MRI (including a patented fat and ductal tissue suppression technology), developed from Aurora Imaging Technology Inc, improves the spatial resolution and sensitivity for cancer detection in breast MRI examinations.
