1. A method of magnetic resonance imaging comprising:

  • applying a substantially static magnetic field to an object;

    applying an excitation pulse to the object;

    applying an acquisition gradient in a time-encoding direction during an acquisition window;

    applying on an alternating frequency-encoding gradient in a frequency-encoding direction, the frequency-encoding direction different from the acquisition gradient;

    acquiring a signal in the presence of the acquisition gradient and the alternating gradient, the signal being time-encoded, frequency-encoded, and being substantially contiguous; and

    using the signal, and at least one processor, to create an image having at least two dimensions of the object.
