Gradient Magnetic Field Symbols
 
Gx, Gy, Gz - conventional symbols for gradient magnetic field. x, y, z denote spatial direction component of gradient, i.e. direction along that the field changes.

Gradient Moment Nulling
 
Gradient moment nulling used as motion artifact suppression technique (MAST) reduces constant velocity motion distortion in standard spin echo or gradient echo pulse sequences. It is an adjustment to zero at the echo time (TE) of the net moments of the amplitude of the waveform of the magnetic field gradients with time. The zeroth moment is the area under the curve. The first moment is the 'center of gravity' etc.
The aim is to minimize the phase shifts acquired by the transverse magnetization of excited nuclei moving along the gradients (including the effect of refocusing radio frequency pulses), particularly for the reduction of image artifacts due to motion.

Gradient Motion Rephasing
 
(GMR) The application of strategic gradient pulses can compensate the objectionable spin phase effects of flow motion. That means the reducing of flow effects, e.g. gradient moment nulling of the first order of flow. The simplest velocity-compensated pulse sequence is the symmetrical second echo of a spin echo pulse sequence.
Gradient field changes can be configured in such a way that during an echo the magnetization signal vectors for all pixels have zero phase angle independent of velocities, accelerations etc. of the measured tissue. E.g. the adjustment to zero at the time TE of the net moments of the amplitude of the waveform of the magnetic field gradients with time. The zeroth moment is the area under the curve, the first moment is the 'center of gravity' etc. The aim is to minimize the phase shifts acquired by the transverse magnetization of excited nuclei moving along the gradients (including the effect of refocusing RF pulses), particularly for the reduction of image artifacts due to motion.
Also called Flow Compensation (FC), Motion Artifact Suppression Technique (MAST), Flow motion compression (STILL), Gradient Rephasing (GR), Shimadzu Motion Artifact Reduction Technique (SMART).

Gradient Recalled Acquisition in Steady StateInfoSheet: - Sequences -
Intro, Overview, 
Types of, 
etc.
 
(GRASS) This sequence is very similar to FLASH, except that the spoiler pulse is eliminated. As a result, any transverse magnetization still present at the time of the next RF pulse is incorporated into the steady state. GRASS uses a RF pulse that alternates in sign. Because there is still some remaining transverse magnetization at the time of the RF pulse, a RF pulse of a degree flips the spins less than a degree from the longitudinal axis. With small flip angles, very little longitudinal magnetization is lost and the image contrast becomes almost independent of T1. Using a very short TE eliminates T2* effects, so that the images become proton density weighted. As the flip angle is increased, the contrast becomes increasingly dependent on T1 and T2*. It is in the domain of large flip angles and short TR that GRASS exhibits vastly different contrast to FLASH type sequences.
