The effects of section separation on image contrast and calculated T1 relaxation times were investigated in healthy volunteers and a phantom using an early commercial version magnetic resonance imaging system. The effects are explained qualitatively on the basis of side lobes of excitation occurring outside the selected section resulting in reduction of the time permitted for T1 relaxation. The options for dealing with imperfect section selection, including separation of the sections (i.e., leaving gaps) and nonsequential excitation, are illustrated and the trade-offs involved in each explained.
