(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).

The image resolution is the level of detail of an image and a measurement of image quality. Higher resolution means more image detail, for example when two structures 1 mm apart are distinguishable in an image, this picture has a higher resolution than an image where they are not to distinguish.
More data points in an MR image (with same FOV) will decrease the pixel size, but not accurately improve the resolution because the different MRI sequences influence the contrast and the discernment of different tissues. With high contrast and optimal signal to noise ratio, the image resolution is depend on FOV and number of data points of a picture, but T2* effects have an additional influence.
