A new acquisition technique for rapid, whole-brain functional MRI is presented. In this technique, several slices are simultaneously acquired using rosette k-space trajectories and a gradient-induced frequency modulation, This modulation together with the spectral properties of the rosette acquisition allow all slices to be reconstructed individually, In functional MRI studies, acquisition rates of 16.7 to 25 images/s were achieved, a threefold improvement over single-slice acquisitions. The raw images showed some increase in noise. However, because this increase is mostly stationary, the functional activation maps showed only a slight increase in noise (8%).
