Line-integral projection reconstruction (LPR) in NMR imaging was found to be useful and has several advantages such as the capability of objects having short T2 compensation phase fluctuations arising from system instability. Although single slice LPR is inefficient poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), multislice encoded method interest since it a high SNR also selected regional volume or imaging. The latter, i.e., capability, unique property offers variety capabilities simultaneous sagittal,...
