allows imaging techniques where subject motion is inevitable or required application_number US 84394004 A description referring now to fig1 magnetic resonance imaging machine 10 includes a magnet 12 providing for a substantially uniform b 0 field 14 within a bore 16 that may hold a subject the magnet 12 supports a radio frequency coil not shown that may provide a radio frequency excitation to protons of the subject not shown within the bore 16 the radio frequency coil communicates with an rf pulse subsystem 18 producing the necessary electrical waveform as is understood in the art the magnet 12 also supports three axes of gradient coils not shown of a type known in the art which communicate with a corresponding gradient subsystem 20 providing electrical power to the gradient coils to produce gradient coil functions g x g y and g z over time also supported by the magnet 12 are multiple shimming coils not shown which communicate with shimming subsystem 22 to produce shimming magnetic fields within the bore 16 finally an nmr acquisition subsystem 24 connects to rf reception coils positioned within the magnet 12 each of the subsystems 18 through 24 communicates with a central controller 26 which generates pulse sequences comprised of rf pulses from rf subsystem 18 and gradient pulses from gradient coil subsystem 20 and which receives nmr signals through nmr acquisition subsystem 24 the controller 26 operates according to one or more stored control programs 28 that may define the pulse sequences and which may operate on data 30 collected from the nmr acquisition subsystem 24 to produce images that may be displayed on console 32 the console 32 also allows the input of data including programs and commands to the controller 26 referring now to.
