IMAGING METHODS, PULSE SEQUENCES, AND THE POINT SPREAD FUNCTION 

For short materials the constant time imaging method (also called single point 

The symbol denotes convolution. Thus, the effect of varying TE and TR in pulse sequences on resolution can be followed by a PSF analysis.Robson et al have outlined an experimental method for measuring the PSF. Different schemes for the phase encoding employed in pulse sequences can lead to different fe-space weighting functions and thus affect resolution. Zhou et al analyzed three different fc-space sampling schemes and the corresponding PSFs for a fast spin echo sequence in order to
