Phase Encoding
 
The process of locating a MR signal by altering the phase of spins in one dimension with a pulsed magnetic field gradient along that dimension prior to the acquisition of the signal.
If a gradient field is briefly switched on and then off again at the beginning of the pulse sequence right after the radio frequency pulse, the magnetization of the external voxels will either precess faster or slower relative to those of the central voxels.
During readout of the signal, the phase of the xy-magnetization vector in different columns will thus systematically differ. When the x- or y- component of the signal is plotted as a function of the phase encoding step number n and thus of time n TR, it varies sinusoidally, fast at the left and right edges and slow at the center of the image. Voxels at the image edges along the phase encoding direction are thus characterized by a higher 'frequency' of rotation of their magnetization vectors than those towards the center.
As each signal component has experienced a different phase encoding gradient pulse, its exact spatial reconstruction can be specifically and precisely located by the Fourier transformation analysis. Spatial resolution is directly related to the number of phase encoding levels (gradients) used. The phase encoding direction can be chosen, e.g. whenever oblique MR images are acquired or when exchanging frequency and phase encoding directions to control wrap around artifacts.

(PRESS) Point resolved spectroscopy is a multi echo single shot technique to obtain spectral data. PRESS is a 90°-180°-180° (slice selective pulses) sequence. The 90° radio frequency pulse rotates the spins in the yx-plane, followed by the first 180° pulse (spin rotation in the xz-plane) and the second 180° pulse (spin rotation in the xy-plane), which gives the signal.
With the long echo times used in PRESS, there is a better visualization of metabolites with longer relaxation times. Many of the metabolites depicted by stimulated echo technique are not seen on point resolved spectroscopy, but PRESS is less susceptible to motion, diffusion, and quantum effects and has a better SNR than stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM).

Saturation Recovery
 
(SR) Particular type of partial saturation pulse sequence in which the preceding pulses leave the spins in a state of saturation, so that recovery at the time of the next pulse has taken place from an initial condition of no magnetization. A rare used MRI pulse sequence that generates a predominantly proton density dependent signal, basically employing a 90° RF excitation pulse, with a very long repetition time. With this technique T1 times can be measured faster than with inversion recovery pulse sequences.
This saturation recovery sequence consists of multiple 90° radio frequency (RF) pulses with a short repetition time. A spoiler gradient pulse dephases the longitudinal magnetization that remains after the first 90° radio frequency pulse. A repetition time interval after the application of this spoiling gradient turns an additional 90° pulse the new developed longitudinal magnetization into the transverse plane, followed by recording a gradient echo.

(SPAIR) The MRI fat suppression technique SPAIR is characterized by a low sensitivity to RF field inhomogeneities. The used adiabatic radio frequency pulses for spectral saturation ensure a high uniformity and lower specific absorption rate (SAR).
SPAIR is suitable for offset and difficult to suppress regions such as liver, pelvis, shoulder and hips.
