Abstract

A version of the chirp z-transform (CZT) enabling signal intensity and phase-preserving field-of-view scaling has been programmed. The algorithm is important for all single-point imaging sequences such as SPRITE when used with multiple data acquisition for T* mapping or signal averaging. CZT has particular utility for SPRITE imaging of nuclei with short relaxation times such as sodium at high field. Here, a complete theory of the properties of CZT is given. This method operates entirely in k-space. It is compared with a conventional interpolation approach that works in image space after the application of a fast Fourier transformation.
