1. A method comprising:
- generating magnetic resonance (MR) data for a sample, the data corresponding to an excitation signal having a series of excitation gaps and a series of corresponding received spin system signal gaps, the excitation gaps or received spin system signal gaps having a position that is cycled among a plurality of positions throughout a duration in at least one of the excitation signal or the received spin system signal; and
generating, using a processor, an image using the MR data.

Abstract
A magnetic resonance image is produced by shifting a gap during acquisition of spin data for a specimen. The spin data is generated by a gapped excitation sequence.
