title: Magnetic resonance imaging of objects with dipolar-broadened spectra using soft excitation pulses.
abstract: Feasibility of acquiring high-resolution 3D NMR images of objects with dipolar-broadened spectra by using soft excitation pulses is experimentally demonstrated. The models are liquid-crystalline phantoms and a pencil eraser. The pulse sequence is a standard 3D gradient-echo sequence.
