Dear NMRists,

Apologies for cross-posts, and certianly to the vertical-bore people out there,
but I'm hoping someone may have a need for this.

This post is for a colleague, and all enquiries should be directed to him at
kacher@bwh.harvard.edu

> stronger than the usual gradient field, which typically ranges from 1

> arrangement to eliminate a field extremum at the shoulder end of the
> image, minimizing non-linearities and aliasing at the end of the image.
