A new three‐dimensional imaging technique which is applicable for 3D MR imaging throughout the body is introduced. In our preliminary investigations we have acquired high‐quality 3D image sets of the abdomen showing minimal respiratory artifacts in just over 7 min (voxel size 2.7 × 2.7 × 2.7 mm 3 ), and 3D image sets of the head showing excellent gray/white contrast in less than 6 min (voxel size 1.0 × 2.0 × 1.4 mm 3 ). © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
